Register

Your First Job Shapes More Than Your Career.

The transition from residency to independent practice is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming. Academic medicine, private practice, hospital employment, private equity, locums... every path comes with different opportunities, tradeoffs, and challenges.

Let's Talk About It brings together plastic surgeons from every stage and practice model to have the conversations most residents never get during training.

Hear how they evaluated their first offers, negotiated contracts, avoided common mistakes, built successful careers, and discovered what type of practice fit their personal and professional goals.

This is an opportunity to ask honest questions, hear real experiences, and leave with greater clarity before signing your first contract.

❋ Intentional Structure

Gain practical, unbiased guidance on contracts, compensation, practice models, and everything residency doesn't teach about finding your first attending position

❋ Expert Advice from Leaders

Learn directly from experienced plastic surgeons, healthcare attorneys, and practice leaders who have successfully navigated the transition from residency to practice.

❋ Real Conversations & Networking

Connect with fellow chief residents and faculty from across the country. Share experiences, ask candid questions, and build relationships that extend beyond the event.

❋ Build the Career You Want

Whether your goal is private practice, academics, employed practice, or partnership, leave with the knowledge and confidence to evaluate opportunities and choose the path that's right for you.
