Membership Information

A Message about membership...
We would like to encourage you to become a member of the Plastic Surgery Research Council. Our mission is to provide the premiere Annual Meeting for the presentation of research in Plastic Surgery. This can only be done if we maintain a broad-based representation of membership in the Plastic Surgery community. The applications for new members each year should include a representative sampling of young plastic surgeons who are in the early stages of their careers. We have instituted a Resident Member category. All residents are eligible to apply, and need only a letter of endorsement from their program chairman. We encourage all plastic surgeons to join us. Please refer to the membership requirements below. We hope to welcome you to our membership soon.

-Arun K. Gosain, MD

Associate Membership is open to individuals without qualification for Active Membership but whose contributions make their inclusion in the Council desirable. Associate Members may not vote.

Resident Membership is open to all Residents in the field of Plastic Surgery. Upon completion of plastic surgery training, Resident Members may apply for Active Membership.

Senior Membership is open to those members of the Council formerly in the Active category who are over the age of 45. Senior Members do not have voting privileges.
