AI Assists in Creating Aesthetic Injector Training Program
Key Takeaways
AI successfully generated a comprehensive educational curriculum for facial botulinum toxin injection training.
Expert reviewers validated the utility of AI in planning course content, logistics, and instructor recommendations.
While not a replacement for human educators, AI provides a useful framework for large-scale course development.
Artificial intelligence was reported as significantly useful in developing an educational course for facial botulinum toxin injections, according to a new study in Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.
The study evaluated AI’s ability to create a training curriculum aimed at physicians and nurses performing facial botulinum toxin injections. Five expert injectors and educators reviewed and validated the AI-generated materials, including a 49-page curriculum compendium, 12-course learning objectives, and training schedule with session breakdowns.
Among the key deliverables produced by the AI model:
Steps for curriculum design and execution
A framework for hands-on skills training
Required equipment lists
Competency evaluation rubrics and participant feedback forms
Budget estimates, proposed cities/venues for training sessions, and a draft roster of instructors
Drafted sponsorship guidance and draft packages tailored for potential industry partners
"Validation of AI performance in the development of an educational course for facial toxin injections demonstrated promising utility for course design and implementation logistics," While AI performance remains imperfect and can never replace human educators, AI can provide a practical framework for physicians in the development and implementation of large-scale educational endeavors in aesthetic medicine and beyond."
