Allergan Aesthetics Will Launch Three New AMI Training Centers in the U.S.

February 12, 2025

Allergan Aesthetics is opening three new training centers in the U.S.

The first Allergan Medical Institutes (AMI) Training Center, AMI Orange County, located at Allergan Aesthetics Headquarters in Irvine, CA. is scheduled to open in 2025. Additional locations in Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX, will follow. With the new U.S. centers, AMI Training Centers will operate in more than ten locations globally.

“The new AMI Training Centers are designed to help expand and elevate our existing best-in-class training programs,” says Glen Curran, Senior Vice President, U.S., Allergan Aesthetics, in a news release. “The facilities will offer a range of courses for providers at every stage of learning helping them to safely and effectively deliver excellent outcomes and increase patient satisfaction.”

AMI faculty trainers offer a hands-on curriculum for providers and business managers. The AMI Training Centers, presided over by AMI Training Center Medical Director Saami Khalifian, MD, a Dermatologist in Encinitas, CA, aim to enhance the clinical techniques, complications management expertise, and business acumen of participants.

“I am honored to be the Medical Director for AMI Training Centers and to play a pivotal role in the development and ongoing evolution of these facilities and the programming offered within,” says Dr. Khalifian. “Continued investment in medical education, paired with a strong community of supportive peers, helps any provider achieve their full potential of excellence. I look forward to seeing the impact that AMI will continue to have on the aesthetics community.”

In November 2024, Allergan Aesthetics launched AMI Business Education to the AMI online learning platform to provide free courses to practitioners with business operations education.
