“The RADAR Residency Network provides a unique and powerful educational resource for our residents, enabling them to not only access the comprehensive library of excellent medical content from ASAPS, but to also effectively communicate and collaborate with other medical institutions around the country,” stated Terence M. Myckatyn, BSc(Hon), MD, Professor, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Director of Cosmetic and Breast Plastic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine.
“Our plastic surgery residents will benefit greatly from this state-of-the-art educational resource and collaboration network between medical institutions,” said Michael Hill, MD, PhD, FACS, Department of Plastic Surgery, Loma Linda University Medical Center. “Their increased access to first-rate medical content and best practices from leading practitioners should play a significant role in their continued career advancement as well as our ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.”
“ASAPS is thrilled to partner with Anzu® on this project, as it’s the first of its kind to embrace the spirit of collaboration to improve learning and patient outcomes for everyone involved. With so many prestigious institutions already on board, we know that this endeavor will change plastic surgery medical residencies for the better and anticipate that many other institutions will follow suit. It’s truly a win-win, and we are very excited to see the practice of aesthetic plastic surgery improve on a tangible scale,” explains Dr. Daniel C. Mills, President, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Barry Fernando, CEO of Anzu® explains, “The goal of this project is to leverage technology to the fullest extent possible and build a network of residency programs that can share their unique arsenals of knowledge with each other for maximum benefit.
