From Practice to Podium
Path to Podium, our First Assist Program at Aesthetic Next, gives you an inside look and hands-on experience with presenting & live injecting with an audience!
Path to Podium is designed to build connections, expand knowledge, and prepare aspiring injectors for future faculty roles on national stages. This program offers invaluable mentorship and networking opportunities with both fellow P2P participants and AN faculty. Participants gain insights into how to present the latest techniques, trends, and innovations in the industry while getting a behind-the- scenes look at the conference itself.
