SEATTLE, May 9, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - The American Academy of Cosmetic Medicine (AACM) is reporting a notable shift in career paths among nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, as many are transitioning from traditional hospital roles to the field of aesthetic medicine.

Dr. Javad Sajan, a lead injection trainer at AACM, remarked on the trend: "While we love teaching nurses and helping medical professionals start a new career, we had to wonder why the numbers keep increasing. When I began asking students, almost everyone said they no longer want to be tied to a hospital where they feel overworked, underpaid, and completely limited in their abilities."

This shift is occurring amidst widespread reports of staffing shortages and burnout in hospitals. AACM offers training courses in Botox and filler injections, providing medical professionals with an alternative pathway that promises not only greater autonomy and flexibility but also potentially higher earnings and improved work-life balance.

Ashley Cortes, a nurse who transitioned to aesthetic medicine after attending AACM, shared her positive experience: "The classes are small and incredibly hands-on. The amount of information provided was way more than I even expected. Everything was really in-depth and informative. Everyone was wonderful."

Dr. Sajan also expressed concern about the broader implications of this trend on the healthcare system: "We enjoy what we do because we love helping students find their ideal career and stabilize their work/life balance. However, we must also advocate for our nurses before the staffing crisis worsens. Because I don’t think nurses are leaving for no reason — they simply want better opportunities and appreciation.”
