Aesthetic Society Meetings

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Aesthetic Society jointly provides (assigns CME) and endorses a variety of educational meetings throughout the year.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s (The Aesthetic Society) educational planning, development, and execution have been reviewed by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and awarded accreditation status for a term of four years as a provider of continuing medical education (CME) for physicians.

ACCME’s Accreditation Criteria assures plastic surgeons and the public that the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society) delivers education that is relevant to its audience’s clinical needs, evidence-based, evaluated for its effectiveness, and independent of commercial influence, all of which put patients first.

The ACCME Accreditation Criteria employs a rigorous process for evaluating organizations' CME programs according to standards that reflect the values of the educator community and aim to accelerate learning, inspire change, and champion improvements in patient outcomes. Through participation in accredited CME, plastic surgeons and their healthcare teams drive improvement in their practices and optimize the care, health, and wellness of their patients.

The Annual Meeting of The Aesthetic Society and The Aesthetic Foundation is held each spring. This meeting is widely recognized as the most important event, nationally and internationally, for clinical education and research in aesthetic surgery.  The Aesthetic Society reserves the right to restrict admission to its meetings.
