CME AND CEU EDUCATION CREDITS TO BE OFFERED AT MEDICAL SPA CONFERENCE AND EXPO APRIL 13-16

The bi-annual Medical Spa Conference and Expo will be held April 13-16th in Atlanta at the Hyatt Regency Peachtree Street. The event will be offering CME (continuing medical education) credits to all attending physicians as well as CEU (continuing education units). This is the second time the Conference has offered continuing education credits, solidifying the event as the leading educational conference for medical and spa professionals.

The First Medical Spa Conference was held in San Antonio in March, 2001 at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel. The Second Medical Spa Conference was also held in San Antonio in November 2001. Founded by respected spa professionals Marian Urban and Guy Jonkman, the Medical Spa Conference has grown significantly since its inception. Jonkman is the publisher of Medical Spas Business Review and the Spa Management Journal, and Urban has a long-standing impressive career in the spa field which includes founder of The Sterling Institute Spa in 1986, ambassador for the training in the USA by Kneipp School in Germany.

"The conference offers physicians practical, evidence-based information that allows attendees to apply what they learn within their own practices to maintain the highest level of care to patients," says Marian Urban, CEO and coordinator of the conferences. "This includes topics such as design, creating a concept, how to prepare staff, marketing ideas, new and exciting procedures applicable in a medical spa, just to name a few. The focus of our show goes way beyond cosmetic medicine—we're discussing Wellness based spas, Integrative Medical practices, and Preventive and anti-aging medicine. All share a common goal of keeping people healthy. Our entire mission statement is summed up in one word: "EDUCATION." "And that is why the conferences were designed; to provide exemplary education to physicians and spa directors about the Medical Spa industry."
