Residents' Competition

This year, ISAPS will host its first Residents’ Competition, a chance for Residents to engage in aesthetic plastic surgery through a fun, educational, interactive team-based challenge.

The Residents' Competition will bring together resident teams attending the Congress and encourage learning, collaboration, clinical knowledge exchange, and international camaraderie among future aesthetic plastic surgeons from all over the world. 

The event will also create an exciting opportunity to showcase the value of education within the ISAPS community while increasing engagement between residents throughout the Congress. 

The competition will follow a knockout format over four consecutive days, culminating in a live final with awards and certificates being delivered in the closing ceremony of the Congress.

Details on registration for the Residents' Competition coming soon.

In each round, teams will go head-to-head answering questions related to aesthetic plastic surgery in a fast-paced quiz.
