Would I need to be a Physicians Assistant, Nurse Practician, ect. to work with a Plastic Surgeon?

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and my main goal is to work side-by-side with a Plastic Surgeon. I have always been extremely interested in Laser Scar Removal, Botox, Breast Agmentation, Rhinoplasty, Lipodissolve, ect. I would also like to maybe do some reconstructive work for burn victums.
My plan as of lately is to get my foot in the door by going to school to be a Master Medical Esthetician, not to be confused with a simple Esthetician (many states don’t offer this license, but Utah is one of the few who do.) Master Medical Estheticians learn all the normal Esthetics as well as extensive training on the Medical side of things; Micodermabrasion, LED light therapy, laser hair removal, botox, ect. Once I have this license, I plan on trying my best to get as good of a job as I can in this field with the economy being as crappy as is it right now, then get all of my general ed. out of the way by doing online courses.
Then my plan is to go to the University of Utah to study something in the medical field that would allow me to work side-by-side with, or under the insurance of, a Plastic Surgeon, but I’m not sure what degree would allow me to do this! Would it be a Physicians Assistant? A Nurse Practician? Something else?
If anyone know the answer to this or if anyone thinks this is a horrible way to go about doing things, please feel free to share.
THANKS! :)

Light therapy for depression?

Posted: May 4th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: light therapy for depression | Tags: , , , , , , | 4 Comments »

Has anyone ever used light therapy for depression? Some say it won’t work unless it is seasonal depression, but it looks like the same factors in your brain would be involved either way. I know that there’s specific (expensive) light boxes I can buy, but I’m wondering if going to a tanning bed every 2-3 days might help. I’ve read that tanning beds are not recommended for this, but the medical field would never promote tanning beds anyway because it isn’t good for your skin.
I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with either a light box or using a tanning bed for therapy?
