PSF Visiting Professors Program

This program is supported by a grant from

 



The PSF Visiting Professors instruct Plastic Surgery Residents using their clinical, technical and educational expertise. Plastic surgery training programs benefit from the Visiting Professors’ wealth of knowledge and innovative perspectives on plastic surgery represented by the Visiting Professors.


Hosting a Visiting Professor
The Visiting Professor’s host must be an active member of the ASPS/PSF, and the institution must be an ACGME accredited program. Generally, the visits are:


     • Two days in duration
     • Centered around residents/residency programs
     • Typically involve lectures, discussion groups, patient evaluation, and patient rounds


All 2011/12 PSF Visiting Professor trips have been scheduled. The PSF Visiting Professors selected for the 2012/2013 academic year will be announced via email to Plastic Surgery Program Training Directors in mid-April 2012.

Plastic surgery training programs interested in hosting PSF Visiting Professors, in order to share their expertise with plastic surgery residents, faculty and others, are encouraged to submit their request as soon possible, after they have received their emailed notification/application. Their schedules are usually filled within the first weeks of notification.

Please contact Jeanne Embrey at 847-228-3364 or jembrey@plasticsurgery.org to request an application to host a Visiting Professor.
