Dear Colleagues,
It is an incredible honor to have been elected President of your Association. Nick Vedder and his Scientific Program Committee led by Richard Hopper and Peter Neligan gave us another outstanding meeting in Baltimore. It is always inspiring to witness the best scientific and clinical work our specialty has to offer together with the enthusiasm and passion, especially of our younger members. Once again a great social program allowed us time to renew old friendships and make new ones. This combination once again affirms for many of us why it is such an honor to belong to the Association. A highlight for me is always the presentation of our Academic Scholar.

ASPS has developed a free listing service to simplify the listing and search for all types of fellowship and training opportunities within the specialty. The goal of this initiative is to provide plastic surgeons and plastic-surgeons-in-training with a searchable database of plastic surgery fellowships, observerships and internships/externship available in the United States and throughout the world.
You are invited to post your fellowships, internships and other post-graduate plastic surgery training opportunities in the new Plastic Surgery Fellowship and Training Opportunities Directory at https://www1.plasticsurgery.org/globaltraining.
ASPS believes this directory will help publicize existing opportunities and provide a broad ranging listing for residents and all plastic surgeons who are seeking additional training. The listings are free to post and free to search for everyone. The directory will be searchable by sub-specialty, duration, country and/or region, paid or unpaid, and more. The Plastic Surgery Fellowship and Training Opportunities Directory is open to private plastic surgeons, institutions, and training directors to post their short and long-term training options.

For the past several years John has been suffering from Parkinson’s disease and at the time of his death was surrounded by his family at his farmhouse in Sherborn, Massachusetts. John’s entire professional career was spent at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Read more.
