9:00am - 12:00pm

Live hands-on training session or lecture presentation (based on course requirements), led by Empire Medical Training’s physician faculty.
For courses with hands-on training, attendees will be in small group breakout sessions with live patients.
For courses with didactic training, attendees will participate in a comprehensive university-style lecture. Some courses will also feature anatomical models or live models to enhance the learning experience.

Breaks

Breaks will be provided throughout the day. Use this opportunity to mix and mingle with vendors and network with other attendees.

*Agenda may be adjusted based on course requirements and operational considerations.

Hands-On Training and Technique Demonstration

During the Physician-supervised training, practitioners will be required to demonstrate their injection techniques. Attendees must administer FDA-approved Botulinum Toxin Type-A products, tailoring their approach to each patient's unique needs.

Safety Measures: Adherence to the safety policies of Empire Medical Training is a requirement for hands-on training. All volunteers who will receive a procedure are required to fill out and agree to the policies before the session as well as adhere to the CDC Guidelines in place.
