From Dr. Casey Tompkins-Rhoades, Plastic Surgery Resident at University of California San Francisco, who attended our ARSA Summit:
“I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for allowing me the opportunity to participate in the ARSA conference this year. As a resident, it was an incredibly valuable learning and networking experience, and I truly appreciated the chance to attend.
Some of the highlights for me included the skills lab, the practice time on the Mitaka, and meeting Dr. McCarthy, who actually trained the chair of my program, Dr. William Hoffman. I was also especially excited to receive a signed copy of Trenches to Transplant by Dr. Boone.
Thank you Heather and Katheryn for the invite at ACEPS and everyone who helped me coordinate! It was truly impressive to see the collaborative environment that ARSA has fostered within the field of plastic surgery and I'm excited to stay connected.”
