“…Similar preceptorships have been established at the resident-attending level which can translate to the student level. 51 Perceived mentee benefits include guidance on career choices, away rotations and interviews, introductions to other attending physicians and residents, and avenues to obtain supportive letters of recommendation. 22 Interestingly, this mentor–mentee relationship is symbiotic in that mentors have reported increased job satisfaction and benefit from opportunities to meet future plastic surgeons.…”

Background: Specialty exposure is most influential in a medical student’s decision to pursue plastic surgery training. We aimed to understand what opportunities exist for students through national plastic surgery organizations. Methods: The American Board of Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and The Aesthetic Society provide online lists of related organizations. Cross-referencing lists yielded 47 unique organizations. Screening for presence of annual meeting and relevance to student and resident education yielded 14 organizations. Bylaws/web-domains were reviewed for information related to the annual meeting, leadership opportunities, membership, grants, and travel scholarships. If available, previrtual/in-person and virtual meeting prices were collected. Lastly, discrepancies between webpage information and phone/email correspondence were noted. Results: All (100%) organizations welcomed students at annual meetings. Eleven promoted student presentation/submission. Average student registration fee was $109.3 ± SD$136.5 compared with $181.20 ± SD$157.20 for residents. Of organizations providing previrtual and virtual pricing (n = 10, 71.4%), there was an average price reduction in student registration of $92 (range: $0–375). Average student membership was $31.70/year ± SD $45.50 compared with $38.80 per year ± SD $65.90 for residents. The percentages of organizations offering student research grants, travel scholarships, and national student leadership were 21.4% (n = 3), 35.8% (n = 5), and 28.6% (n = 4) respectively. No organizations had student chapters/committees. All organizations (100%) contained at least one discrepancy between webpage/bylaw and email/phone. Conclusions: Our results suggest that although national opportunities seem to be limited, a role exists for further engagement, with interested students eager to take the initiative. Virtual conferences present a lower-cost alternative for students and residents.
