After finishing training, new challenges are waiting for young surgeons. Whether as a board-certified plastic surgeon working in a clinic or in a private office, new responsibilities demand one’s skills and strength. Especially in this period, ISAPS Mentor Program bolsters our young members with help in difficult plastic surgical cases regarding indications, best techniques and, if necessary, salvage procedures.
ISAPS Mentor Program encourages our seasoned members to become an official ISAPS Mentor and our young members to take advantage of this treasure of experience.
We are currently undertaking a relaunch of the ISAPS Mentor Program including a more structured approach and lots of exciting resources to support participants on their Mentorship Journey!
All of us admire our idols who revealed the secrets of aesthetic plastic surgery and helped us to survive during training the following years in practice.
ISAPS now helps Resident and Associate members to find support from experienced colleagues.
Many residents are looking for possible rotations during their training to improve their skills in different fields of plastic and aesthetic surgery that might not be offered in only one single clinic.
The mentor helps connect already established colleagues with young and highly motivated trainees.
Mentors give advice on choosing suitable meetings and courses for each level of training. Today a huge variety of aesthetic courses are offered and most young colleagues are not aware of what these entail.
In addition to the ISAPS endorsements, a personal mentor can help the mentee select the right meetings to get the most out of them.
As part of the relaunch of the ISAPS Mentor Program, we are currently developing the ISAPS Mentor Program Resource Hub. This collection of resources aims to support mentors and mentees in fostering effective, inclusive, and impactful mentoring relationships. Keep an eye on this space as we continue to add new exciting resources to the program!
