Cadaver Course

As an injector, you are only as good as your foundation and understanding of human anatomy.  This private cadaver course is designed to take your game to the next level through an intimate, small-group dissection with several national and globally-recognized facial plastic surgeons.  If you have attended a cadaver course in the past, you likely were provided with a specimen and a set of instructions.  Without prior dissection experience, you probably spent more time trying to dissect “correctly” than learning anatomy.  Our course takes the opposite approach.  We focus less on the process of dissecting and more on the actual anatomy being dissected.  Similar to a private tutor, our cadaver dissections are performed by facial plastic surgeons with extensive experience and understanding, but with you right alongside them.  This way, all you need to focus on is taking in the anatomic structures, structural planes, and injection approaches.  Each small group will complete a 3-hour intensive cadaver session.  While your group is not dissecting, you will have the opportunity to watch the other dissection groups, giving you additional opportunities to observe the anatomy.  With very few structural requirements, our surgeons have the opportunity to cater each individual dissection to the level of experience of their group.  The injectors have an open floor to ask questions and dig into the details that might best benefit their day-to-day practice.  Upon completion, we aim to leave you feeling confident and ready to take on each patient in an entirely new light.

Of course, we could not put on a cadaver course without an exceptional Colorado summer rooftop cocktail event.  This themed networking and educational event will be held Saturday night at a unique Denver location with a breathtaking view of the city skyline and the Rocky Mountains.  There will be appetizers and plenty of specialty cocktails, so bring your appetite!
