Hello everyone!
First off congratulations on finishing residency and starting fellowship! It's going to be a super fun year! I know you all are studying for boards so good luck! I wanted to introduce DJ and I and give some information on the monthly zoom lecture series we've been doing since COVID hit during our fellowship year. We recently got the Fellows in Training Committee approved by the AAFPRS so we have a lot of good things coming this year!
I'm Kirk and I'm just starting my third year of practice in Dan Becker's group in Philly. DJ is also starting his third year and is currently in transition opening his private practice around the San Francisco area. During our fellowship year (COVID!) we started a lecture series on Zoom that was very popular. We continued doing monthly lectures last year which fellows found very helpful. The topics have been wide ranging and strive to "bridge the gaps" for topics that most people don't get a lot of exposure with and also surgical topics that are helpful for the young surgeon. We will have our first lecture on 8/21 at 2pm EST on "How to Approach Your Fellowship Year" with a panel of recent graduates. In September we will have Ari Hyman talking about the evolution of his Rhinoplasty techniques (9/18 Sunday at 4:30pm EST).
I want to get a list of everyones preferred emails so we don't have to rely solely on this forum. Please fill out the google form below so we can get your email! We will be in touch shortly with google drive folders of prior years lectures as a resource for you. Please DO NOT SHARE this lectures with anyone. These are designed to be for the fellows only and if we find out they are being shared around, we'll have to close the folders.

We have designated two fellows to help organize and run these monthly lectures: Anni Wong (UPenn fellow) and Dan Lee (NYU fellow). I have included everyone's contact information below. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Thanks for reading this email and have a great first week of fellowship!
