One of our goals as the Foundation is to fund research and education to elevate awareness within the cosmetic surgery community and the public at large. To support this goal, the Foundation supports the Annual Scientific Meeting Scientific Poster Awards. The judging criteria used for the scientific posters are originality and educational value of the topic; presentation and poster content; research methods and result reporting; and conclusions.
