Our division hosts twin monthly research seminars showcasing our innovative basic, translational, and clinical research. Special topics and speakers relevant to plastic and reconstructive surgery research share the platform. This series covers a wide-range of topics pertinent to Plastic Surgery from animal models to systematic reviews, from cutting-edge surgical devices to entrepreneurship.
We meet twice monthly at 5pm CST via Zoom.
Clinical research seminars are on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Basic and translational research seminars are on the following evening, the 4th Thursday of each month.
