What does it really take to become a plastic surgeon, and what comes after residency?
On this episode of The Digital Handshake Podcast, host Scott Jorgensen sits down with Dr. Robert Tong, Chief Plastic Surgery Resident at UT Houston, as he prepares for the next stage of his career: an aesthetic surgery fellowship in Orange County, California.
Dr. Tong shares his journey into plastic surgery, how increasing responsibility during residency prepares surgeons for independent practice, and what patients should understand about training, board certification, and choosing a qualified plastic surgeon. He also discusses the value of mentorship, why the plastic surgery community can be more collaborative than competitive, and the importance of paying knowledge forward to the next generation.
