I am shadowing with Luminis Health Plastic Surgery under Dr. Holton and Dr. Masden

Please provide a quote about your summer experience—include what you have learned, how this experience has enhanced your application, etc.

Having the opportunity to shadow two renowned plastic surgeons with backgrounds as extensive as Dr. Holton and Dr. Masden has been a life changing opportunity. I was able to be present in the operating room alongside Dr. Masden for two surgeries at the end of my shadowing experience. I was exposed to the daily operations of a plastic surgery clinic and operating room procedures. This experience has further solidified my desire to become a plastic surgeon. I was invited back to shadow with them and will be doing so over winter break!
