NEW SYMPOSIUM! JULY 13-14, 2012 | Grand Hyatt Washington, Washington, DC

Co-Chairs: Maurice Nahabedian, MD & J. Peter Rubin, MD

Complications hit you 'in the belly, in the heart and in the soul'

During a video discussion about our new symposium, ASPS President Malcolm Z. Roth, MD, spoke frankly about the feeling plastic surgeons get when they encounter a serious complication: "It hits you - in the belly, in the heart and in the soul - and you want to try to learn how you might avoid that."  He went on to praise the meeting for the "incredible opportunity" it will provide for surgeons to help other surgeons be the best they can be.

Advance registration ends July 2

Great Opportunity for Residents

Speaking directly to Training Program Directors, Dr. Roth said, "I think that every program director has to really seriously consider this opportunity for their Residents. It's an incredible bang for their buck." The meeting, he said, is a chance "to give your Residents an opportunity to really learn -- at a high level from experts --  how to handle complications, what to do when they happen and how to avoid them." Registration price for Residents is $650. That's $800 off the member price!
