"I have been fortunate to learn this specialized skillset from a number of exceptional surgeons who generously dedicated their time to my training. It is now my responsibility—and privilege—to pass this knowledge on to the next generation of hand surgeons, thereby extending our collective impact on patients. Teaching also enhances my own practice: articulating the “how” and “why” to residents and fellows dispels complacency, keeps me current, and ultimately enables me to deliver the highest standard of care." - Erin A. Miller, MD, Flaps Course Faculty
Hear from our wonderful volunteer faculty on why they choose to teach, inspire, and support current residents and fellows. We're grateful to everyone who steps up to educate the next generation of hand and upper extremity surgeons!
