About Us

PRS Med Ed originally began as the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Virtual Curriculum (PRSVC) with founders Dr. Abra Shen, Dr. Bernard Lee, and Dr. Samuel Lin at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in 2020.

The pilot course in May 2020 involved 16 students and included small case discussion groups for students to talk through clinical cases together, solidify and apply knowledge, and get to know each other. We also held Q&A sessions and one-on-one on advising meetings for students to receive mentorship from our faculty advisors, Dr. Lee and Dr. Lin.

The course officially launched in June 2020, with over 275 students from 18 different countries enrolled.
