Medical Aesthetic Training of California (MATC) has developed an educational program preparing nurses and physicians entering into the highly rewarding field of medical aesthetics. MATC is selecting universities to participate in licensing the curriculum based upon a combination of factors: geography, academic, reputation, regional demographics and economic variables. Currently there is not a standard of education for this new field of medicine. Those nursing institutions that enter into this curriculum will create the standard of education.
