Young Plastic Surgeons Forum

What Is YPS?

The ASPS Young Plastic Surgeons (YPS) Forum is a diverse community and resource for young plastic surgeons that provides opportunities for networking, idea sharing, political advocacy and leadership development.

What Does YPS Do?

In addition to facilitating opportunities for young plastic surgeons to become involved in the Society and fostering openness to new ideas and fresh perspectives, the YPS Steering Committee is involved in several projects. From leading the Residents Bowl and presenting several awards at Plastic Surgery The Meeting to highlighting young surgeons at the podium and publishing in Plastic Surgery News, YPS is involved in many meaningful initiatives.

How Can You Get Involved in YPS?

If you are a plastic surgeon under the age of 42 and/or have been in practice for fewer than eight years, you are automatically part of the YPS Forum! To get more involved and take on leadership roles, you can join the YPS Steering Committee and also get involved in any of the work groups that you're passionate about. Check out the YPS Leadership Team for a full listing of the work groups.
