Virtual Live Internet CME Activity - 

The Annual Scientific Meeting of the Ohio Valley Society of Plastic Surgeons (OVSPS) serves a crucial role for students, residents, fellows and attending surgeons to highlight new technologies, new treatment modalities and new techniques in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In addition, the program serves to educate these individuals on patient safety topics and research occurring within the region thereby expanding the breadth and scope of plastic surgeons. Specifically, the meeting will include didactic and panel presentations to generate discussion involving new concepts and controversies in plastic surgery. The presentations are designed for audience interaction in an open forum allowing ample time for questions and answers.

A resident forum for research presentations serves an important role in providing the opportunity for the resident/fellow to present his/her work in an open forum; an opportunity that may not be available at the national level.
