Last month, The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal published an article on the "Impact of Plastic Surgery Training on Family Planning and Prenatal Health." The responses to this article have been thought provoking and heavily debated. Taking a deeper look, this podcast focuses on the important topics discussed and the solutions proposed. Joining me for discussion are two of the authors, Dr. Debra Bourne, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic Surgery at University of Kentucky, and Dr. Wendy Chen, Chief Plastic Surgery resident at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Thanks for listening in!

Another exciting interview discussing Dr. Carlquist work getting young female minds into medicine and the road for the female once she's in!

Dr. Roxanne Guy is a true female pioneer in plastic surgery. Her lifelong leadership has broken multiple gender barriers in both general and plastic surgery. She was the first graduating female at Southern Illinois University for both general and plastic surgery. She later went on to become the first female President in 2007 of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) which is the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world. She has over 30 years of private practice experience. Not only is she a champion for females everywhere, but her patient care is truly exceptional as well! Listen as she discusses her experiences in residency and private practice, and provides invaluable advice for young plastic surgeons!

After meeting Dr. Wendy Chen at the 2019 ASPS conference, I knew I needed to hear more of what she had to say! Listen in as she discusses her research on bridging the gender gap and sexual misconduct in plastic surgery residency. This is just part 1!
