The Australasian College of Aesthetic Medicine (ACAM) has launched its new Fellowship Pathways, ACAM Academic Pathway II and III.
The two fellowship pathways are now open to medical practitioners who wish to upgrade their education and consolidate their skills. Fellowship Pathways II and III (Practice Based Assessment) are designed for practitioners who can demonstrate practical experience:
- Have a minimum of three years cosmetic/aesthetic medicine experience, (or its part-time equivalent pro rata);
- At least one year of which aesthetic medicine experience gained within Australia;
- Be active in aesthetic medicine within Australia (i.e. in current practice).
Dr Caswell, President of ACAM, advises that ACAM has accepted the Post Graduate Diploma of Aesthetic Medicine, offered by the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) (www.qmul.ac.uk), to contribute to the completion of the Academic Fellowship Pathway II. Individuals may choose to complete the QMUL Masters in Aesthetic Medicine, at the completion of their Post Graduate Diploma of Aesthetic Medicine. At the successful completion of their fellowship (Pathway II) candidates will gain an independent academic qualification, as well as ACAM college fellowship.
Dr Caswell said that it is a pleasure and a privilege for ACAM to be associated with such a prestigious academic institution, and that she was particularly proud of the working team who has brought this outcome to fruition. Dr Caswell explained that ACAM has a strong commitment to increase the practical, ethical and academia within the scope of aesthetic medicine practice, whilst providing access to externally validated standards and knowledge.
ACAM has designed three pathways to encourage and support continuing adult education whilst offering meaningful and validated qualifications: Fellowship Pathways II and III recognise and respect the experience of established medical practitioners, whilst ACAM’s Educational Pathway I is designed for those medical practitioners who are new entrants to the profession. Dr Caswell advises that interest in ACAM modern approach to educational programs has been strong, and no doubt helped by its online and interactive delivery of short courses. The college will open the final fellowship pathway (I) in the near future.
