Writing & Speaking | Liz Malphrus, MD

Writing & Speaking

Beyond the OR, I write and talk about the stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into a consult — health policy, training life, and what surgery is really like. This is where my newsletter, podcast, writing, and press live.

Podcast

Real talk from a plastic surgeon on medical education, health policy, and all of the things you need to know about doctor world that nobody actually teaches you.
