ASMS Course
In early April I flew to St. Louis to dissipate as guest faculty in the rhinoplasty and facial surgery course sponsored by the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons, sister organization to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, of which I have been a member since 1979. It was an excellent course with wonderful attendance, where I lectured and then participated in a half-day anatomy lab that allowed the surgeons to try out the new techniques that they had been taught. This combination of lecture and lab is one that I frequently use in my Visiting Professorships on behalf of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and is a very effective teaching tool. Immediate application burns the ideas in very effectively. The course is an excellent one and I am pleased to have had the opportunity to be invited faculty.
