"Being a part of the ASLMS community since 1999, when I joined as a 2nd year NYU dermatology resident, has been invaluable for my career. Membership in ASLMS has enhanced my ability to change patients' lives with lasers, contribute to the advancement of our specialty, gain valuable leadership experience, educate fellows and residents, advocate for patient safety, and volunteer to my community. Members of this preeminent Society include the world's top physicians and scientists in engineering and physics of lasers and energy-based devices for indications in many specialties."

AN Early Career Perspective on ASLMS

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