What an honor it was to serve as an Oral Board Examiner for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It is a privilege to witness the dedication, skill, and professionalism of the candidates who have committed themselves to the highest standards of our specialty - reaching the pinnacle of their medical journey…a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.
I look forward to congratulating, and soon welcoming, all of the new diplomates as they achieve board certification—an extremely difficult process and an important milestone that reflects not only their hard work, but especially their commitment to safe, ethical, and exceptional patient care, which are paramount to our profession.
Board certification remains one of the most meaningful assurances of quality, expertise, and ethics in plastic & reconstructive surgery, and I am honored and proud to play a role in this important process.
