President's Message

Joseph Losee, MD NESPS President

Coming off the heels of an outstanding annual meeting on the beautiful Amelia Island in Florida, under the direction of our past president Joe Disa and his program committee chaired by Babak Mehrara, there was an all time record in the number of abstract submissions. Our meetings also continue to be the only regional society to offer the American Board of Plastic Surgery approved MOC courses.

The 2012 Annual Meeting of the Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons is scheduled for September 27-29 at The InterContinental Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, a vibrant, thriving city renowned for its cultural facilities, world-class educational institutions, champion sports franchises, as well as its place at the very forefront of American history. The upcoming meeting promises to be just as exciting as the 2011 meeting with the continuation, and planned expansion of the MOC course program. Under the direction of Program Chair, Peter Taub, the 2012 meeting will include cutting edge and controversial topics discussed amongst the top rated experts in the field. I am also pleased to announce that Dr. Paul Manson will be our 2012 Founder's Lecturer in Reconstructive Surgery and Dr. Joseph Serletti has accepted the invitation to serve as the Eugene Courtiss Memorial Lecturer. I also want to invite you to attend our Black Tie President’s Banquet which will be held on Saturday evening. We’ll be offering great food, great entertainment and an opportunity for great conversation.

I thank you all for the honor of serving as your president, and I look forward to providing an outstanding meeting in 2012.
