Membership Criteria Update

We wanted to remind you of an important change in the AAPS membership application process. At our 2026 Annual Meeting in Hawaii, your AAPS Board unanimously voted to eliminate the waiting period for application to AAPS Membership and open the application process to all Board-Certified Plastic surgeons regardless of the year of their certification. The strict criteria for acceptance has not been altered; this change is purely to allow members to nominate outstanding candidates at any phase in their career.
