College of Medical Aesthetics, formally Medical Aesthetic Training of Califonia, Inc will launch the first Aesthetic Nursing Certificate program in the USA.
The general purpose of the Aesthetic nursing program is to establish educational guidelines that provide the educational institution with direction for seeking approval of a new post-licensure nursing program. In accordance with Business and professions Code, Section 2786 (a), educational programs offered in institutions of higher education may apply for accreditation of new programs. These institutions such as the College of Medical Aesthetics will meet the requirements of certification and degree programs.
The specialty area of aesthetic nursing prepares the aesthetic nurse to provide competent care, educate the patient to what is scientifically proven, participate in research, develop best practices, and provide evidence based nursing care. Aesthetic nurse professionals are currently unregulated, leaving nurses susceptible to insufficient instruction regarding patient safety, laser safety, and direction of standardized procedures and protocols, and understanding the role of the medical director, while defining a full understanding of federal and state laws that vary from state to state. However the College of Medical Aesthetics has established a complete, comprehensive, and academically precise curriculum to meet this deficiency in aesthetic nursing education.
This comprehensive18 week educational program will launch March 5, 2012, accepting only 12 students that must meet requirements set by the college. The College of Medical Aesthetics will offer the program as a learning community in cyberspace and also traditional hands on skills labs that require the student to be present. This is known as a hybrid program that will allow working professionals to study at their
leisure while providing a synchronous and asynchronous environment.
Enrollment is now open: limited to 12 students
