AN Early Career Perspective on ASLMS

"ASLMS is the premier organization for anyone interested in Biomedical lasers.

It is wonderful to network with national and international colleagues as well as early career members and laser medicine pioneers!"

Why Residents Should Join ASLMS

"I would like to encourage all residents to join ASLMS and utilize the vast resources that the Society has to offer. Having been a resident myself, I do realize that residents have a lot on their plates, from clinical duties to studying for the boards. It can be easily overwhelming to keep track of all the new technologies and lasers out there. But that's why it is so important to become part of ASLMS early in your career. This way, you can broaden your knowledge and network at the same time."

 

The American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, Inc. is the world’s largest scientific organization dedicated to promoting research, education and high standards of clinical care in the field of medical laser applications.
