MedSurge Advances Releases Schedule for 2007 Educational Workshops and Bootcamps.

DALLAS -- MedSurge Advances, the leading aesthetic medicine services provider for physicians, today announced the 2007 schedule for Fundamentals, a two-day medical spa workshop designed to guide doctors step-by-step through the process of launching a career in aesthetic medicine.

The company also announced the schedule for its Sales & Marketing Bootcamps, which include Fundamentals plus an additional two days of intensive MedSpa sales and marketing training, and a new educational workshop called Elementals, designed as a refresher for existing MedSurge Advances physicians and their staffs.

"Operating an aesthetic practice offers the promise of greater work satisfaction, an additional source of income, and fewer insurance-reimbursement hassles," said Scott Day, president and CEO of MedSurge Advances. "But the process also brings with it new challenges. Preparing doctors for these challenges, and providing ongoing support, are the objectives of our workshops and bootcamps."

The Fundamentals workshop provides broad-based medical spa training encompassing financial management, marketing, operations, and sales. Practice areas covered at the workshop include:

* Consultations on basic skincare, photo rejuvenation and injectables

* Selling techniques

* Marketing and advertising basics

* Pricing and packaging

* Operations management

* Legal/entity issues

* Compensation and finances

The Sales & Marketing Bootcamp follows Fundamentals with two days of intensive training and role-playing in a variety of aesthetic medicine sales and marketing scenarios. The Elementals workshop, for existing MedSurge Advances physicians, helps doctors train new staff and focus on practice areas with room for improvement.

All workshops and bootcamps are to be held in Dallas. Events will take place at the Crowne Plaza (Midway Road) and the Prava Suites by the Galleria. Following is the schedule for remaining 2007 events:
