1.Introduction
This policy details the obligations and requirements of the users, the website, and the website owners of ECAMS.
2. Terms
Changes to these terms and conditions will be posted on this page. Please review regularly to stay informed of any updates.
3. Our contract with you
Submission of an order for our products and/or services does not guarantee a secured place. Order acceptance occurs upon when a receipt of full payment, at which point a contract is established between you and ECAMS.
4. Accuracy
We endeavor to keep information about our products, services, and other website content current. However, inaccuracies or changes may occur, and we reserve the right to withdraw or substitute products or services and cancel orders with notice.
5. Live Model Hands-On Training Conditions
At ECAMS, we are committed to delivering a comprehensive live model hands-on training experience. However, it is important to acknowledge the inherent uncertainties involved in such training involving live models. The following are potential scenarios that may occur:
-Last minute unavailability of models due to health issues, unsuitability for the scheduled procedures, or other unforeseen reasons.
-Last minute models not attending the training session, or deciding to leave due to discomfort or second thoughts about participating.
-You may not have the opportunity to participate in all the types of cases you desire. Especially for facial surgery, breast surgery, and genital surgery—procedures that typically involve smaller, specific, and highly sensitive areas—case assignments for the participant depend on each patient’s assessment on the day of the surgery. This is based on factors like expectations, medical history, and other variables that impact patient safety and overall outcomes.
While ECAMS makes every effort to prevent these situations, they are sometimes beyond our control, and as such, we cannot assure their complete avoidance. In such instances:
-We will seek alternative arrangements to ensure the continuity and quality of training. Our team will strive to match the original training plan as closely as possible, but exact replication of the planned program cannot be guaranteed.
-Participants in these sessions should be prepared to adapt to these changes. We ask for your understanding and flexibility should any last-minute modifications be necessary.
For those participants who prefer a more predictable training scenario, we recommend choosing the “Bring Your Own Patient” option. This allows for a more controlled training environment and ensures the participant’s specific training needs are met.

12. Competence & Scope of Practice Clause
Competence, Scope of Practice & Regulatory Compliance
ECAMS provides postgraduate, skills-based training intended exclusively for licensed medical practitioners. All programmes are designed to enhance clinical knowledge, practical ability, and procedural understanding through structured education, hands-on training, supervised practice, and evidence-based methodologies.
Completion of any ECAMS course, workshop, fellowship, masterclass, or certification does not, by itself, grant legal competence or authorisation to perform any medical procedure. Competence to practise a procedure is defined solely by the participant’s local medical regulatory authority, licensing board, health ministry, or institutional privileges.
Participants remain fully responsible for:
ensuring that any procedure they choose to perform is within their legally permitted scope of practice;
complying with the laws, guidelines, and regulatory requirements of their country or region;
exercising independent professional judgement and maintaining patient safety at all times;
obtaining any additional supervised clinical experience required by their regulator or institution before performing procedures independently.
ECAMS training equips participants with the knowledge, technical skills, clinical frameworks, and safety principles necessary to enhance their practice within their permitted scope, but ECAMS cannot guarantee, certify, or confer regulatory “competence” as defined by external authorities.
By completing registration, participants accept that ECAMS programmes are educational in nature and do not replace local licensing requirements, specialist training pathways, or jurisdiction-specific credentialing processes.
