Today we celebrate the extraordinary women of Harvard Plastic Surgery—surgeons, trainees, physician assistants, nurse practioners, nurses, and staff—whose skill, compassion, and leadership advance patient care, research, and surgical education every day.

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

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!
