Medical Director
PracticalCME Medical Training
Gregory Zengo, MD has injected over 1.3 million units of Botox and has done Dermal Filler Injections for 22 years. He has been a medical director of 3 different medspas and has hired and worked with numerous NP’s and RN’s in aesthetics practice. As the lead medical director of PracticalCME since 2008, he remains in charge of CME accreditation and the online curriculum in addition to live hands-on at 4 sites. Finally, Dr. Zengo also authored the world’s first CME-accredited courses on PRP and Microneedling in 2014, and PDO Threads in 2018. Gregory P. Zengo, MD has trained hundreds of physicians in aesthetic procedures like Botox, Dermal Fillers, Liposuction, and Sclerotherapy, in addition to wellness services like BHRT with Saliva Testing, and medical weight loss since early 2006. He has forged a unique blend of rigorous evidence-based instruction with practical tips, tricks, and hands-on techniques to help the new practitioner become experienced in the shortest time. His own practice in Georgia serves as a laboratory for everything that is new in aesthetic medicine. What works in reality becomes PracticalCME’s next training course. By remaining in close contact with hundreds of doctors, he is always enriching the course content to make our training the most valuable anywhere. Dr. Zengo is a board-certified OB/GYN specialist. Following his medical school at Emory University in Atlanta, he completed his residency training also at Emory. As a resident, he was awarded the title of Chief Administrative Resident and Resident Teacher of the Year. He has spent 9 years as an Assistant Professor or Clinical Instructor on the Emory faculty. He has trained with some of the world’s best practitioners in Sclerotherapy, Mesotherapy, Liposuction, PDO Threads, Platelet-Rich Plasma, and Bio-Identical Medicine. These skills have been very well-received by his patients and profitable for his practice. “I found that the most profitable procedures that had the highest patient demand were also the ones that required the least amount of expensive equipment.” And so, PracticalCME was founded to teach physicians new skills, not sell them expensive equipment that will be obsolete in 2 years. Since then, his practice has grown from being 10% aesthetic and wellness services in 2002 to 95% aesthetic and wellness services, and he has not taken a night of call or set foot inside a hospital in over 15 years. His practice and its adroit transition from traditional medicine to a hybrid of medical/alternative/aesthetic services brought physicians from over 40 states to train one-on-one with Dr. Zengo in his Georgia offices and through PracticalCME Medical Training over the past 15 years. Dr. Zengo began giving his own unique CME training courses in late 2006 but did not cave in to the influence of sponsors who tried to control his content. This led to the founding of PracticalCME in 2008. He has lectured hundreds of physicians since then, most of whom have come back to train in multiple topics. Dr. Zengo is licensed to practice in Georgia, Florida, California, Arizona, Washington, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.
