PREMIER ANNUAL RESIDENT COSMETIC SYMPOSIUM

2025 Attendee Testimonials:

“This is hands down the best cosmetic conference I have been to! The lectures provided great evidence-based presentations. I really enjoyed the mentorship and camaraderie. I left the conference feeling confident because I learned so much, and it truly opened my eyes to all of the procedural skills dermatologists can have.”
— Autumn Saizan, MD

“I was moved by the generosity of the faculty, not only in the time they committed to organizing the Symposium, but also in their candidness regarding career and life advice. Their commitment to serving as advisors and showcasing themselves as not only incredibly accomplished professionals but also as humans with real dynamic lives is what made this course so moving.”
— Natnaelle Admassu, MD

“It’s great to have more exposure to various ways of doing things and different treatment options. I loved talking with faculty one-on-one at dinner and in small groups on Sunday. Particularly, going through before and after photos and reviewing various filler / toxin / resurfacing options on a case-by-case basis was beneficial.”
— Amanda Stallings, DO
