This course, co-ordinated via the Foundation for Professional Development, is run over two years and focuses on a myriad of areas within Aesthetic Medicine.

"While general practice has given me a good insight and understanding of medical conditions and health, and orthopaedics has taught me a great deal about the structure and form of the human body, it is within aesthetic medicine that elegance, beauty and art, and science, discipline and allopathic medicine have borders that are both shared and blurred. Thus by combining artistic creativity with sound scientific medical practices, aesthetic medicine allows us to help you bring out your inner elegance and beauty like the proverbial butterfly emerging from its cocoon."
Dr Shahien Dollie
"Under great mentorship, I have been privileged to learn the art of Psychiatry and integrate this in my management of all patients. A healthy body is nothing without a healthy mind. My experience in Psychiatry has proven to be a useful tool in the practice of Aesthetic Medicine. This has allowed me to not only enhance the existing beauty in the world, but also improve self-esteem and provide a holistic approach to health and wellbeing."
Dr Zeenit Sheikh
