Course Instructor

My name is Malke Asaad. I am a third-year plastic surgery resident at the University of Pittsburgh. After graduating from Aleppo Medical School in Syria, I pursued 3 years of clinical research at two world-renowned institutions – The Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) and MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). As a research fellow, I worked with leading researchers to produce 100+ publications and partake in 80+ conference presentations. Through this course, I am excited to share my extensive research experience with you and help you achieve your research goals.

Delaying your Match application and start of residency (due to a weak CV and lack of research) means missing out on the significant salary difference between an attending and a resident (between $200,000 and $600,000). 

Investing in this course will boost your CV, enhance your research skills, and increase your chances of matching into residency. Don't miss out on this opportunity to secure your future success.
