About Plastic Surgery Deconstructed
Plastic Surgery Deconstructed is a monthly webinar series created for undergraduate and medical students who are curious about or already committed to a career in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Through virtual talks with surgeons, residents, and mentors, we aim to share real-world insight, career guidance, and inspiration—helping to level the playing field so students from any medical school can learn, ask questions, and explore the specialty.
Each session features voices from across the training and professional spectrum—from academic surgeons and private practice innovators to senior residents and fellows—offering an inside look at their career journeys, surgical interests, and personal experiences. Topics span complex reconstructive cases, aesthetic surgery, health disparities, advocacy, research, and work-life balance.
Webinars are held monthly, with live Q&A, and open discussion. All sessions are free and open to students nationwide. The series provides valuable mentorship, education, and exposure to the many pathways to and within plastic surgery.
