Where dentists become aesthetic leaders
The Elevate Mentorship Programme by Mediject Academy is a selective pathway for ambitious dentists ready to integrate aesthetics with confidence and clarity.
Why Mentorship Matters
Most dentists think they have to choose, dentistry or aesthetics. But aesthetic medicine isn’t a detour from dentistry, it’s an evolution of it.
In fact, Dentists are uniquely positioned to excel in aesthetics. But only with the right support.
The Elevate Mentorship Programme is a selective 12-month training experience for dentists ready to lead with confidence, clinical excellence, and purposeful direction.
You understand structure, proportion, and patient trust. What’s missing for most dentists isn’t ability, it’s implementation. And that’s exactly what Elevate is built to develop.
At Mediject, we understand the precision, pressure, and patient responsibility that already defines your clinical life. Elevate is designed to honour that and help you grow beyond it.
Over 12 months, you’ll gain more than hands-on training. You’ll gain structured mentorship, a safe space to learn, and a proven path to incorporating ethical aesthetics with confidence.
Because confidence doesn’t come from a certificate. It comes from mentorship, mastery, and real-world implementation.
“When I first stepped into aesthetics, I thought I was leaving dentistry behind. But what I’ve realised, and what I’ve seen in every dentist I’ve mentored, is that dentistry already gives you the perfect foundation."
– Dr. Sheila
Rooted in Dentistry
Designed for Growth
Your precision, anatomical expertise, and patient trust already give you an advantage. At Mediject, we help you harness those strengths to expand your practice into aesthetics.
Over 12 months, you’ll gain more than hands-on training. You’ll gain structured mentorship, a safe space to learn, and a proven path to incorporating ethical aesthetics with confidence.
You already have what most aesthetic courses overlook:
YOU HAVE
Clinical precision
YOU HAVE
Facial anatomy expertise
YOU HAVE
Trusted patient relationships
YOU HAVE
High standards of care
Is it becoming clearer now? Most dentists just don't realise they have already built the perfect foundations in order to succeed with aesthetics.
What Elevate gives you, is the mentorship to put those skills into practice. Safely. Sustainably. Successfully.

What we stand for
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Elevate Mentorship Programme is built on five principles that shape everything we do:
- Mentorship over methods. You're supported, not just taught.
- Confidence built, not assumed. Feedback is constant. Growth is measured.
- Implementation drives transformation. We don’t teach in theory. We help you integrate in practice.
- Career-first, not just skills-first. Elevate is designed to shape your long-term success.
- Selective by design. Elevate is not for everyone - and that’s the point.
We’ve seen it time and time again - when mentorship, structure, and support are in place, confidence becomes inevitable.

Led by Clinicians, Not Corporates
Guided by Dr Sheila. supported by experts. Mentorship isn’t just what we teach. It’s how our team began.
At Mediject Academy, every member of our teaching faculty once sat exactly where you are now, uncertain, curious, and wondering whether aesthetics could become part of their clinical future.
They didn’t choose a course. They chose mentorship. And now, they’re here to guide you through the same journey, with honesty, expertise, and care. This is mentorship with real roots. Built by clinicians, for clinicians.
This is the Mediject faculty. Clinicians who walked the path before you. Mentors who now walk it with you.

Elevate Mentorship FAQs
Have questions? You're in the right place. Here’s what future delegates often ask us before they join.
Who is the Elevate Mentorship suitable for?
The Elevate programme is designed primarily for dentists, especially those who already deliver cosmetic or restorative dentistry, and want to expand into facial aesthetics in a safe, structured, and supported way.
We also welcome motivated dentists who are completely new to aesthetics, but who want to approach it comprehensively, not as a side course, but as a serious clinical pathway.
This programme is for thoughtful, clinically minded professionals who:
✔️ Want to integrate facial aesthetics with anatomical depth and ethical care
✔️ Are seeking structured mentorship, not just certificates
✔️ Are ready to invest in long-term growth, not short-term shortcuts
We occasionally accept GMC-registered doctors, but only where there is strong clinical alignment and a clear commitment to the mentorship process. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Elevate is not for clinicians who:
✖️ Are chasing trends, viral treatments, or fast-track routes
✖️ Want a quick fix or a one-day filler course
✖️ Aren’t ready to invest time, care, and presence into their development
You may have done a course (or several) but still feel unsure, unstructured, or not confident enough to treat. You might be returning to aesthetics after a break, or looking to grow a profitable business around what you’ve already learned.
If you’re serious about treating patients safely, ethically, and with long-term support, you’re in the right place.
How long does the mentorship last?
The Elevate Mentorship is more than a course, it’s a two-year journey.
It begins with three months of in-depth online theory, covering facial anatomy, safety, assessment, and treatment planning, the essential foundations for safe, confident practice.
This is followed by 10 full-day clinical training sessions across the year, where you’ll treat real patients under close guidance, using a case-led, full-face approach. Many delegates complete 20–30 patient cases during this time, enough to begin implementing confidently outside the mentorship environment.
Alongside your clinical days, you’ll receive 12 months of structured mentorship, including case reviews, treatment planning support, and business integration guidance.
But the support doesn’t stop there.
You’ll also receive a further 12 months of mentorship after your clinical year ends, because we know the most vulnerable point for many clinicians is when they begin treating independently. At Mediject, you’re never left wondering if you’re doing it right.
In total, you’ll receive:
- 3 months of foundational theory
- 10 clinical training days
- A full library of video-based demonstrations
- 24 months of expert mentorship
This isn’t just about how you train, it’s about how you grow, implement, and lead.
How many clinical training sessions are included?
You’ll receive 10 full-day, in-person clinical training sessions, delivered across the year, covering everything from foundational techniques to advanced, full-face treatment planning.
Every session is hands-on, case-led, and anatomically focused. You’ll assess, plan, and treat real patients, with full support from our clinical team at every stage. There is no sharing of models, because we aim to emulate real-world clinical setups, where each patient is yours to assess and treat with intention.
You’ll learn to inject the face with precision, confidence, and safety, building technical skill, clinical judgement, and professional autonomy.
From first injections to complex multi-region plans, you’ll be mentored every step of the way.
This is not just clinical exposure, it’s full integration, with mentorship that stays with you far beyond the training room.
Each day is focused, intimate, and practical. You won’t be lost in a crowd. You’ll be working with real patients, with close support, and with time to refine your technique properly, and our delegates leave with a portfolio of up to 30 cases during their year with us.
How am I supported between sessions?
Mentorship isn’t just what happens in the room.
This is where Elevate is different.
Between clinical days, you’ll receive real-time case reviews, one-to-one mentorship, and personalised guidance, not just on technique, but on treatment planning, patient safety, complications, and integration into your practice.
You’ll also have access to:
- A private delegate support group
- Video platform of taught procedures
- Mentor-led feedback on your own patient cases
And after your clinical year ends, support doesn’t stop. You’ll receive an additional 12 months of mentorship, because we know your most vulnerable time is when you first start treating independently. You’ll never be left wondering if you’re doing it right.
How big is each cohort?
We keep things small on purpose.
Each cohort is intimate, capped at 6 delegates, and only 3 clinicians per group during the clinical training sessions, because at this level, this ensures:
- Personalised attention
- No rushed training
- Deep mentoring relationships
- Real-time feedback and faculty support
This isn’t training at scale. It’s transformation at depth, and every delegate is chosen with care.
Do we get hands-on experience?
Yes — from day one.
You’ll treat real patients under direct supervision, using a full-face, case-led approach. You’ll be expected to assess, plan, and inject, with feedback and mentorship throughout.
Most delegates treat 20–30 patient cases during the year, building a portfolio of skills and outcomes that reflect real-world practice.
Everything is designed to mimic the clinical environment you’ll return to, with no sharing of models, no rushed tick-boxes, and no guessing.
You learn to treat with precision, presence, and professional confidence.
What kind of business support is included?
We teach you to inject — and to build a business around it.
Business integration is woven into the programme. You’ll receive mentorship on:
- Pricing, positioning, and service design
- Ethical marketing and patient communication
- Clinic setup and growth strategy
- Time management and systems thinking
Once you complete the course, you’ll be invited to attend our Elevate Business Live Day, and be invited into the Mediject Mastermind if you choose to deepen your business journey.
We don’t just help you treat, we help you implement.
I’ve trained before. Is this still for me?
Absolutely. In fact, for many of our delegates, Elevate only became necessary because they’d trained before.
They’d done one, two, sometimes three courses. They had the certificates, but not the confidence.
Why?
Because confidence doesn’t come from a course.
It comes from implementation.
And this is the gap most aesthetics training doesn’t address.
It’s not enough to learn a technique once.
It’s not enough to love a course and leave inspired.
If you don’t use a skill quickly, safely, and repeatedly, you’ll lose it.
How many of us have trained in a technique, gone back to clinic… and never used it?
How many of us have talked patients out of treatment, not because we didn’t care, but because we didn’t feel confident enough to say yes?
This is what Elevate is built to change.
Because at Mediject, we don’t teach injectables in isolation.
We teach them in real-world context, alongside dentistry, with real patients, real planning, real support.
We show you how to assess and treat with the smile in mind, integrating everything you already do as a dentist.
And we stay with you after the training day.
That’s the difference.
From the moment you begin Elevate, you are mentored, not managed.
✔️ You’re in a small, handpicked cohort of like-minded clinicians
✔️ You’re supported on WhatsApp, through bi-weekly calls, and live case reviews
✔️ You’ll be asked to plan, submit, and reflect on your cases
✔️ You’ll troubleshoot before complications happen — with guidance behind every decision
✔️ You’ll treat real patients, in safe, structured environments — until the skill becomes second nature
This is how confidence is built.
Through practice, with mentorship, and with structure that mirrors your real world.
If you’ve trained before but still feel unsure, you’re not broken.
You were just never supported properly.
Mediject is here to change that.
What’s the application process like?
It’s simple, but intentional. Because this isn’t just a course you sign up to. It’s a mentorship you’re selected into.
Here’s how it works:
- Take the quiz to see if Elevate is the right fit for where you are now
- Submit your application — it takes less than 10 minutes
- Book a call with Dr Sheila to explore your goals, challenges, and what you want from this next chapter
This call isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a real, honest conversation.
To understand what you need, and whether we can truly support you to get there.
If accepted, you’ll receive:
- Immediate access to the online theory platform
- Your clinical training dates and calendar
- A place in a small, curated cohort of like-minded clinicians
- And access to the support, systems and structure that will guide you every step of the way
And because this programme is selective by design, you can be reassured that every delegate who joins after you shares your mindset, standards, and motivation.
You’ll show up to group sessions knowing you’re among peers, able to talk through real cases, ask questions freely, and be supported without judgement.
This is not a high-volume training model.
We only enrol six dentists per intake, because mentorship at this level requires presence, proximity, and care, from both sides.
If you’re ready to treat safely, grow strategically, and build a practice that lasts, this is how it starts.
One conversation. One application. One patient at a time.
What if I don’t have the patients to implement?
You do. You just might not realise it yet.
Most of our delegates say the same thing at the start — “But I don’t have an aesthetics patient base.”
What they discover quickly is that they already do.
Your Invisalign patients. Your bonding patients. Your whitening patients.
The ones investing in smile design, trusting you to reshape their confidence.
Those patients are already thinking about their appearance holistically, they’re just waiting to be shown that you are too.
Facial aesthetics doesn’t require a rebrand.
It doesn’t require fancy marketing or discounted offers.
It simply requires one thing:
For you to offer what you already know they’re looking for.
“Yes, I can help with that too.”
Because the truth is, most of your patients won’t go looking elsewhere if they know you offer more than teeth.
But if you don’t mention it, they will.
And when we teach you to integrate facial aesthetics, it’s not to override your dentistry.
It’s to complete it.
You already know the proportions, the structure, the skeletal pattern.
We teach you how to bring that understanding into the whole face, so your outcomes feel refined, complete, and truly harmonious.
That one patient you already see each week?
That’s the patient who can begin your aesthetic practice.
And we’ll mentor you through every step , from that first conversation to your first successful case.
You don’t need a new patient list.
You just need to expand the care you already give.
Can I speak to someone before applying?
