Plastic Surgery Research Symposium
The Plastic Surgery Research Symposium (Research Day) is an event that highlights current research projects in the division by faculty, researchers, and trainees.
Each April, we are joined by a Visiting Professor for a full day of abstract presentations showcasing the depth and breadth of research in our division. Abstracts are voted on during the day and winners are chosen for categories: Basic Science and Clinical Science. The day culminates with the Visiting Professor giving a keynote lecture.
Stanford Plastic Surgery Faculty, Researchers, & Trainees with Visiting Professor David Chang.
