Early Career Network
Developing the next generation of energy-based technology leaders.
Future health and technology advancements rely on the great minds of emerging clinicians and research scientists. That is why ASLMS offers FREE memberships to students, residents, and fellows-in-training for the duration of their training. The ASLMS Early Career Network aims to support those in training and at the start of their professional careers by building relationships and promoting involvement in ASLMS.
“Being a part of the ASLMS community since 1999, when I joined as a 2nd year NYU dermatology resident, has been invaluable for my career. Membership in ASLMS has enhanced my ability to change patients' lives with lasers, contribute to the advancement of our specialty, gain valuable leadership experience, educate fellows and residents, advocate for patient safety, and volunteer to my community." ASLMS President 2022-23.”
