Graduate Reviews
"Sculpting for Surgeons was a dynamic experience that opened my eyes to a new way of approaching the art of aesthetics. Dr. Schmid reignited in me a spark of creativity that I had long ago extinguished in my pursuit of medicine. This course should be a required part of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery core curriculum."– Dr. Mray Heyrosa
"I especially want to send you my appreciation for spending time with me doing VASER lipsculpture in the Sculpting for Surgeons Cadaver Lab. In fact, I think you have inspired me to begin liposuction training!"– Dr. Richard Pierzchalio
"I feel so much more confident in the OR and feel like my hands know not only what to do, but how to treat the body to "mold" it to something that is both aesthetic pleasing and very satisfying to the patient. Dr. Schmid said that I would feel different after the course, and needless to say...I do!!! Thank you again for changing my professional life."– Dr. Ted Y. Fisher
"Participating in Sculpting for Surgeons has had a tremendous effect on my skills as a cosmetic surgeon. Working in clay helps me translate my artistic views into reality and this will have a positive effect on my ability to transform faces and bodies. Dr. Schmid's expertise and passion made this experience very special for me and the other participants."– Dr. Richard Pierzchalio
"I want to congratulate you on the most unique, thoughtfully crafted, impactful, and just plain enjoyable workshop I have ever attended. Every stop along the way during the course, your lectures, those of the photographer and musician, the male/female morphology demonstration, the drawing exercises along with the sculpting itself were very carefully designed to enhance and stimulate our aesthetic eye adding the "frosting" on our skills as surgeons."– Dr. Richard Fisher
"The Sculpting for Surgeons cadaver lab was an excellent learning experience. It will benefit all attendees and significantly enhance patient safety. This lab is one of the most prepared and educational of any Cadaver labs I have been involved with. I have lectured and taught probably 20 or 30 similar labs during my career. The educational experience for surgeons is unsurpassable. Please keep this organization viable for physicians such as myself. By so doing you will contribute to medical education and promote patient safety."– Dr. Robert Jackson
