Productive weekend in Nashville at the American Council of Educators in Plastic Surgery meeting.
Proud to see Dr. Woodberry’s continued leadership with the PREP program and multiple committees shaping the future of surgical education. Even more proud of our residents and medical students who delivered outstanding presentations and represented our program so well.
Grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with WVUSOM alum Dr. Paul Ghareeb as he recently took over as Program Director at Emory
A team who lifts you up makes all the difference
Some do it metaphorically… @vardhan_avasarala does it literally 😅
We had a great time at our annual division holiday party!
We had the honor of hosting Dr. Shaun Mendenhall, Division Head of Hand Surgery in the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Utah, as our visiting professor! @pedshanddoc@uofuplasticsurgery

A full morning of powerhouse teaching — from complex pediatric microsurgery to spasticity surgery, free functional muscle transfer, and so many more pearls across upper extremity reconstruction.

Dr. Mendenhall is as kind as he is brilliant, and we’re so grateful for the insight he shared. Huge thank you to PolyNovo for sponsoring the dinner and supporting this memorable visit!
Grateful to Dr. Albright from @alamoplasticsurgery for an outstanding virtual grand rounds on cosmetic breast and abdominal surgery. Thank you for sharing your expertise, clinical pearls, and thoughtful approach!
We would like to congratulate our PGY-5 @elanedaily on her stellar presentation at ASSH! She took home first place in the resident case presentation and also received the Mary Stern scholarship 👏🎉🥳🎊
Another wonderful annual cleft picnic filled with sunshine, laughter, and whipped cream! ☀️🥧 We had an amazing day celebrating with our patients and families — great food, fun festivities, and of course, the always-anticipated pie-ing of our residents and faculty. It’s truly an honor to care for our incredible cleft and craniofacial patients and to share these joyful moments together each year. 💕
