Aesthetics/med spa experience for dermatology?

Post by CashiWaku »

Hello! I am a new grad PA who would love to eventually work in dermatology. However, given that dermatology positions are hard to come by without any experience, and the fact that I am unable to relocate, I am looking into a couple other options. I have been offered a position with a med spa where I would be doing Botox and fillers for a small private business. The pay and benefits are not so great, but the IM physician and nurse (the two injectors) would train me on how to do these procedures. I am much more interested in the medical side of dermatology, but I know that cosmetics are an important part of many derm offices. I am wondering if there is any value to having these skills in helping me find a derm position later on down the road. Would I be better off getting experience in family medicine or outpatient neurology? I would love any input you can give! Thank you in advance!

Nowadays, injections are in high demand. This industry will grow in the following years. If I were you, I'd accept the job offer.

I think you shouldn't refuse the position at that med spa. Doing botox and fillers is a great experience. You'll learn from specialists how to do it better. And as I've seen at Med Spa Calabasas, these procedures are in high demand. More and more women are interested in doing them. Gain knowledge and clients. After some months, if you disagree with their condition, you can leave. You'll also have enough time to work in family medicine or outpatient neurology. However, something tells me you are going to love botox and fillers.
