Since its launch, Aesthetic Surgery Journal has been an international journal catering to aesthetic and plastic surgeons around the world. We have been honored by contributions and publications from global key opinion leaders. In this spirit, our editor in chief and staff are attending international meetings more regularly so that we may engage more directly and personally with our authors, editors, and reviewers around the world to discuss new submissions and ideas for innovation.
There are countless opportunities to move the needle forward when it comes to technology, with advancements in artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (OpenAI; San Francisco, CA); digital innovations for advertising, marketing, and promotion; and international translations that make content more accessible and more broadly disseminated.
Toward this end, we are pleased to share news regarding recent Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) between key international societies and The Aesthetic Society. With credit to President . Jennifer Walden, Dr Jamil Ahmad, and Executive Director Sue Dykema, these recent MOUs represent the commitment of The Aesthetic Society to enduring global partnerships and further expansion of plastic surgery education. Please join us in supporting these global societies and their members:
