Harvard Plastic Surgery

✨ Chief Resident Spotlight: Henry Miller, MD ✨

📍 Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
🎓 College: Tufts University
🩺 Medical School: Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University
🥼General Surgery Training: Cooper University Hospital

One of the highlights of residency was serving as Chief Resident at the MGH Chief Clinic, where he enjoyed a high level of autonomy, outstanding surgical cases, and the opportunity to grow into the role of a junior attending.

What he will miss most is being surrounded by such kind, talented, passionate, and inspiring co-residents and faculty members. He will also miss walks and runs along the Charles River.

Next, Henry will return to his hometown of Philadelphia to pursue his passion for complex reconstruction through a Microsurgery Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania.

Congratulations, Henry, and best of luck in this exciting next chapter! 🎉

The start of graduation season is upon with our annual change show! Lots of laughs at the end of year roast of the outgoing chief class hosted by the PGY 5s!

We are so proud of our PGY5 class on an incredible microsurgery match! Congratulations to

We are proud to support a community that mentors, inspires, and empowers the next generation of women in plastic surgery.

Happy holidays from the MGB plastic surgery holiday party! 🎄🎁🎉

Our PGY3 class had a great time attending the management of facial trauma course this past weekend in Kansas City. It is a great educational experience with lots of hands on learning, the PGY3 class looks forward to this conference every year! 💀🪛🩻

We had an excellent time at PSTM25 in New Orleans! Several residents were selected for podium presentations where they presented their research on a wide variety of topics. The annual meeting is always attended by our chief residents who found time to have some fun in between lectures and networking events. We cannot wait until next year!

We would like to congratulate PGY 5, Ryoko Hamaguchi on her two recent podium presentations at the 50th Anniversary Meeting of ISPAN (International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses), one on her lessons and pearls learned at the intersection of medical illustration and medicine, the other as a joint presentation with Michele McCullough, MSN, RN, AMB-BC, CPSN (President-Elect of ISPAN and our incredible clinic nurse at Faulkner Hospital) on their pilot quality improvement project implementing visual infographics to breast reconstruction perioperative care.

Ryoko’s decade long work as a medical illustrator is a deeply ingrained aspect of her persona as a budding reconstructive surgeon and she is very grateful to the residency program for being unconditionally supportive and encouraging of her passion for art as a mode of communication in education! We are so lucky to have Ryoko as a resident and her beautifully illustrated presentations especially at resident led curriculum sessions!
