Annual Residents' Research Day
On Friday, May 4th, 2012, the Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery held its annual Residents’ Research Day at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre with Dr. Peter Lennox from the University of British Columbia as the Visiting Professor and keynote speaker. Dr. Lennox, who is on staff at Vancouver Hospital and Providence Health, has special interests in breast reconstruction and microsurgery, as well as cosmetic surgery. His lectures on Collaboration in Breast Reconstruction and Non-autologous Breast Reconstruction and Radiotherapy were both fascinating and informative.
This day is the highlight of our academic year and our residents present their academic pursuits. The best research presentation is awarded the Dr. Robert McFarlane Resident Research Award, a Prize endowed by the graduates of the Western University Plastic Surgery Teaching program in recognition of Dr. McFarlane who was the founder of the Division and a world-renowned hand surgeon. Our residents have gone on to present their research at many national and international forums and have been prize winners at these venues as well.
Various topics were presented by residents this year and Dr. Stephanie Power was the recipient of the Dr. R.M. McFarlane Resident Research Award for Best Research Presentation for her paper on Critical Analysis of Consecutive Unilateral Cleft Lip Repairs by Parents Versus Surgeons: Determining Ideal Sample Size. The Waldo Stavraky Award for Best Clinical Teacher was awarded to Dr. Damir Matic. The day was a great success and planning is underway for next year’s event which will be held in 2013 on Friday, April 19th.
