Young Plastic Surgeons Events at PSTM

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

Acting as a liaison between plastic surgeons in the early stages of their careers and established ASPS Member Surgeons, the YPS Forum facilitates opportunities for young plastic surgeons to become involved in the Society, fostering openness to new ideas and fresh perspectives while having fun.

All plastic surgeons who are under the age of 42 and/or have been in practice for fewer than eight years are considered young plastic surgeons.
