Joshua Tsai

Hello, my name is Joshua, and I’m an incoming sixth year medical student with a strong interest in plastics (particularly microsurgery). The Reconstructing the Stereotype Conference holds a special place in my heart as it was the first time I ever worked with animal models, which I was then able to put to use on human cadaveric models and actual surgeries. Even though the experience was short (only a couple hours!), the conference gave me the confidence to take a more active role within the surgical theater and volunteer for more theater experience.

My goal is to allow more medical students to gain the confidence and interest in plastic surgery by creating a truly memorable RTS Conference. With my experiences, I am uniquely positioned to offer students insight into plastics and create a truly streamlined and informative RTS conference. Moreover, I have experience organizing events and teams through the multiple research projects I’ve led (some of which were published!) and volunteer experiences I’ve organized. My most recent project was leading a taster session for prospective medical students (A-level students) at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, which was praised by both participating students and consultants.

In conclusion, I aim to create a great experience for all students and hope I will be able to provide a truly educational conference. If you’re interested in plastics, hand surgery, or medical research, feel free to reach out!
