The Division of Plastic Surgery proudly participated in this year’s American Association of Plastic Surgeons (AAPS) Annual Meeting, where faculty and trainees presented cutting-edge research and contributed to important discussions shaping the future of the specialty.

Looking ahead to the 2025 Annual Meeting, AAPS is pleased to introduce an exciting new initiative: "Meet the Giants." This unique opportunity is designed for medical students, residents, and fellows to engage in one-on-one, five-minute mentorship sessions with some of the most esteemed figures in plastic surgery—including the renowned Dr. Linda Phillips.

Participants will gain invaluable career guidance, personal insights, and professional inspiration from leaders who have made significant contributions to the field. Space is limited, and early sign-up is strongly encouraged for those seeking to take advantage of this exclusive mentoring experience.
