Session: Presidents Panel: Bringing the Future Into Focus - How Research is Changing Our Practice

Panel: Presidents Panel: Bringing the Future Into Focus - How Research is Changing Our Practice

Objective(s): Plastic Surgery is recognized as a specialty with a rich tradition for innovation and research. These two tenets provide the foundation for advancing modern medical practice and changing patient care. The adoption of evidence-based medicine is increasing physician reliance on quality-data from well designed, clinically relevant studies to make important treatment decisions; however, the need for more and rapid outcomes research is often influenced by complex regulatory, legal, financial considerations. This panel will explore how: • Research in plastic surgery translates at the practice level • Evidence-based medicine impacts the practice of plastic surgery • Research and innovation in plastic surgery compare to other specialties • Federal agencies, the legal system, and finances impact the advancement of research leading to clinical practice • Plastic surgery can maintain its position as a leader in research and innovation

Panelists: Amy Alderman, MD
Richard Gliklich, MD
Andrea Pusic, MD
Joseph M. Rosen, MD
James M. Stuzin, MD
