Those who attended in the past years were thrilled to have the opportunity to participate. Here are a few quotes from the reviews that we gathered:
“What an amazing group of oculofacial and facial plastics/ENT experts available to lecture and provide hands on demonstrations! That level of expertise all in one room plus having so many tools and products from various companies to try out makes this course truly outstanding, whether you are a resident, fellow, or out of training already.”
“As a fourth-year resident who will be starting an ASOPRS fellowship in July, this course was invaluable. Hearing step-by-step explanations and techniques from leaders in the field of oculoplastics, dermatology, and otolaryngology has greatly improved my confidence and readiness as I progress to the next level of my training. Moreover, the unparalleled access to equipment and multiple display screens greatly assisted the course in reaching its educational goals. I cannot imagine beginning a fellowship without having taken this course.”
“The USC Oculofacial Dissection course was one of the best dissection courses I have attended. Any oculoplastic or facial plastic fellow would benefit tremendously from taking this course even if they are already comfortable doing the entire range of procedures covered in the course. There is such a meeting of the minds from different specialties (oculoplastics, facial plastics, dermatology) that it is beneficial to learn the variety of ways that people perform the same procedure.”
“The USC oculoplastics fresh cadaver course was hands down the best surgical training I’ve had in all of residency. The ability to practice advanced plastics procedures with renowned faculty is truly unparalleled. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity and look forward to next year.”
“This is an absolutely incredible course, no matter what your specialty is. Dr. Zhang-Nunes does such an amazing job every year bringing together different specialties to share ideas, show techniques, learn from each other no matter what level you’re at. If you are doing surgery on the face, on the eyes, this is the course to be at.”
“I’m so excited to go back home and apply the new techniques that I learned here.”
“There’s really no course like it that brings together the brightest minds and most talented surgeons from Southern California but also from across the country.”
