OUR MISSION
The Arthur L. Garnes Society is committed to fostering mentorship, collaboration, and fellowship among Black, African-American, and other underrepresented individuals in plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as those who strive to join our ranks.
The absence of minorities in plastic surgery has far reaching consequences for the future of the field.
