PROGRAM MESSAGES
Dr. Sam Lam
With more than 100 attendees coming from across the world, we doubled the attendance from last year. Reviews included, “I learned a lot. This course was well thought out, very informative, and very practical” and “This is one of two courses in the last 32 years that I have attended that delivered what it promised to do.” The one criticism we received was that the attendees in Level 1 wanted to attend Level 2 lectures and vice versa. As a result, this year we have combined all Level 1 and 2 lectures, and increased the lab time yet kept its content tailored toward one’s skill level. In addition, we expanded our world-class faculty. The new format will give each attendee the opportunity to review and expand knowledge while focusing on developing specific skills. Do not miss this unique learning experience which includes : 3D lectures and one-of-a-kind hands-on experience.
Dr. Emina Karamanovski
Assisting in hair restoration requires unique skills that are difficult to gain and to master. This course offers an unparalleled, three-day, comprehensive program designed to help assistants either develop new skills or improve existing ones. The feedback received last year was inspiring since all attendees expressed that their needs were met beyond their expectations: participants gained practical pearls to improve their practice and many attested that the course gave them a new boost of confidence. It is my great privilege to share the knowledge and passion of our world-class faculty with you whether you are a novice or very seasoned in the field. Do not miss this amazing opportunity to learn one-on-one and gain valuable skills. If you are a physician, please consider enrolling your assistants, as they will improve surgical efficiency, learn new critical thinking skills, quality control, safety, and receive invaluable hands-on mentoring.
