PLANS FOR Cosmetic Bootcamp™ 2006 IN THE WORKS
To Include: “New Technology Symposium” and “Cosmetic Bootcamp™ for Office Staff”

FREDERICK, MARYLAND (August, 2005) - The Pratique Institute in Frederick, MD, a leader in cosmetic and aesthetic educational programs, announces the expansion of next year’s Cosmetic Bootcamp™ scheduled for summer 2006 in Jackson Hole, WY. As part of this expansion, the medical directors plan to add training programs to educate office staffs in how to manage and grow a cosmetic practice. The Cosmetic Bootcamp™ is the leading symposium for training dermatologists, plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, and oculoplastic surgeons in how to perform cosmetic procedures, and it is a continuing medical education program.

Plans for next year’s meeting includes the addition of a separate “New Technology Symposium” designed to allow the media and investment banking community to interact with physicians and industry leaders in cosmetic dermatology and surgery.  In addition a “Cosmetic Bootcamp™ for Office Staff “ is also planned.

Cosmetic Bootcamp™ 2005 was deemed a success by its medical directors, Drs. Kenneth Beer and Mary Lupo, and producer, The Pratique Institute. “There is a lot of interest in how to perform cosmetic procedures at an expert level and effectively compete with the hair salons and non-specialists that are trying to compete based on price rather than quality,” says Lupo. The seminar sold out its capacity and plans to increase in size for next year. “We seem to have struck a chord with the physicians that really want to provide the best care for their cosmetic patients” says Beer.

“We were surprised at the degree to which industry supported and attended this seminar,” added Beer. “Makers of lasers, skin care products, and other cosmetic procedures were demonstrating their next generation of products to this select audience and it added great depth to our course planning.”
