On August 6, 2006, we collaborated with the Vietnamese Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (VSAPS) and QUAD A to conduct an International Educational Session. The course, Patient Safety in Plastic Surgery, addressed adverse event investigations, complication prevention, procedure-specific risks, management of catastrophic outcomes, and emergency preparedness.

The following faculty members led the session, which was held at Central Military Hospital 108 in Hanoi, Vietnam:

§  Thomas Terranova, JD/MBA, MA
§  Monte Goldstein, MD
§  William Rosenblatt, MD, FACS
§  Assoc. Prof. Vu Ngoc Lam, MD, PhD
§  Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Hong Ha, MD

We appreciate the collaboration and the faculty’s efforts in making this important session possible.
