FROM LABORATORY RESEARCH TO CLINICAL REALITY
Biomedical research is a key force for change in the world today. This research has important economic and social implications that will affect our children, grandchildren and future generations.
In this regard, the Ohio Valley Society of Plastic Surgeons is privileged to draw its members from prominent academic institutions and private practices in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Western Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana.
There are few laboratories worldwide whose cutting edge research is as productive and influential as those within the institutions in these 5 states.
Our theme: “From Laboratory Research to Clinical Reality” was chosen to honor the contributions of the skilled Basic Science and Clinical Members of OVSPS and their affiliated institutions.
It is not surprising, therefore, that we have had a record number of abstracts submitted this year. With the superior quality of the abstracts and the limited number of presentations, we propose to highlight the scientific endeavors of some of our Residents and Fellows with the option to display their research as Posters.
Please join us for the 53rd Annual Meeting of the OVSPS and support the importance of the Laboratory Research, when applied to Clinical Reality, as the ideal source for best practice protocols.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cleveland soon.Yours sincerely,
Bryan
