RIAMS Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine
The Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine is a clinically oriented program for licensed medical professionals who have completed prior certification and training in aesthetics but have yet to begin independent aesthetic practice.
It is particularly suited to practitioners with foundational knowledge who seek a structured course with clinical exposure, protocol clarity and supervised skill refinement.
A distinguishing feature of this course is the allocation of individual patients to each delegate for each aesthetic indication during the clinical phase. This ensures procedural continuity, from assessment and planning to treatment execution, under direct faculty supervision. The practice phase further extends this learning by offering real-time clinical decision-making opportunities in a semi-private format.
The curriculum is delivered through a hybrid model and includes 6 months of online lectures, 7 days of intensive hands-on work with real patients, followed by 4 additional clinical practice days in a mentored, semi-private format.
Course Mission
The Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine aims to enable licensed medical professionals to transition into clinical aesthetic practice with clarity, confidence, and competence. The program is designed to build clinical depth, procedural accuracy, and patient-centred communication, essential for safe and ethical aesthetic care.
Course Format & Delivery
The Fellowship is delivered through a structured hybrid format:
6 months Online Access
Delivered via live-recorded online lectures, interactive case discussions, and periodic knowledge assessments. Participants can learn at their own pace.
11 Days of Hands-On Training
Module 1: 7-days intensive hands-on training
Dates: 12-18 September 2025
Held at the Recon clinical facility, this phase offers intensive, supervised training on real patients. Each participant is assigned individual patients across key indications for neuromodulators, dermal fillers, lasers, and regenerative procedures, under direct faculty supervision.
Module 2: 2-days Foundational Semi-Private Days
Semi-private mentored sessions where participants treat their own patients, with a focus on protocol refinement, independent planning and confidence-building.
Module 3: 2-days Advanced Semi-Private Days
The remaining two semi-private days are reserved for advanced indications, including complex filler zones, threads, and combination therapies. Scheduling for these sessions is conditional upon submission and approval of a clinical logbook.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the program, participants will:- Independently be able to evaluate patients, develop personalised treatment plans and perform core aesthetic procedures with clinical accuracy
- Confidently navigate the entire patient journey, from consultation and consent to treatment delivery, complication management and follow-up.
- Transition from theoretical knowledge to safe, independent clinical practice in aesthetic medicine.

- Hands-On, Indication-Specific Training: Over 7 days, each participant is assigned one patient per core aesthetic indication: neuromodulators, fillers, lasers, regenerative therapies and more, ensuring complete procedural continuity under faculty supervision.
- Semi-Private Clinical Mentorship: 4 dedicated practice days allow participants to treat their own patients with close faculty guidance, strengthening independent planning, technique and clinical confidence.
- Cross-Specialty Faculty Mentorship: Delivered by an experienced team of ENT surgeons, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and aesthetic physicians, offering integrated perspectives on aesthetic care.
- Ethics and Patient Psychology: Structured modules cover psychological assessment, aesthetic expectations, and ethical decision-making to promote responsible and safe clinical practice.
- Case-Based, Reflective Learning: Each module integrates real patient case reviews, documentation exercises, and critical reflection to sharpen diagnostic and decision-making skills.
- Practice-Ready Protocols and Templates: Participants receive clinical toolkits including consent forms, documentation formats, and communication templates, supporting a confident start in aesthetic practice.
Assessment

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
This fellowship is an advanced training program that combines structured academic learning with supervised clinical immersion. Participants function as fellows under experienced faculty, participating in didactic lectures, case-based discussions, hands-on procedures, and reflective practice within a live clinical setting.
Applicants must hold an MBBS or higher medical qualification (e.g., MD, MS, DNB) as recognized by the National Medical Council of India. Dental applicants must hold an MDS degree in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS), as per the Dental Council of India’s regulatory framework. International applicants must possess an equivalent degree in their home country.
Yes, provided you hold a qualifying degree (as outlined above), aesthetic procedures can be practiced under the scope permitted by national regulations. In India, MBBS and above (for medical) and MDS (OMFS) for dental practitioners are legally allowed to practice aesthetic medicine. Actual scope of practice may vary depending on local/state laws and must be independently verified by the participant.
Yes. International applicants are welcome to apply and benefit from the program’s globally recognized faculty. We provide necessary documentation to support visa applications, though securing a visa remains the responsibility of the participant.
Due to the patient-allocated nature of training, missed hands-on dates cannot be rescheduled and no refunds will be considered. Participants are strongly advised to plan attendance well in advance.
Yes. One patient per indication is assigned to each fellow for every core procedure. This is made possible through the institute’s integration within an active clinical practice, ensuring high patient volume and diverse procedural exposure.
For the mandatory 7-day clinical phase, all patients are assigned by the institute. However, during the semi-private mentorship days, fellows are required to bring their own patients for independent treatment planning and execution under faculty supervision.
To access the final two semi-private mentorship days (which cover advanced procedures), participants must submit a logbook detailing their post-course practice, indicating volume and variety of injectables performed. This ensures they have gained sufficient real-world experience before advancing to complex indications.
Yes. The program includes modules on ethical patient communication, consent protocols, clinical documentation, and basic principles of aesthetic practice setup. Business management and ethical marketing concepts are also discussed to support practice-readiness.
