Dr. Pederson receives 2024 Distinguished Fellow Award from AAPS

Chris Pederson, M.D., professor and chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery was awarded the 2024 Distinguished Fellow Award from the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. The award is given to one or more plastic surgeons annually and recognizes a prestigious career in plastic surgery which is notable for significant service to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons or to other national or international organizations. It also recognizes leadership in educating others in plastic surgery. The American Association of Plastic Surgeons is the oldest and most prestigious plastic surgery organization in the world, and in its 103-year history this honor has only been bestowed on 88 other fellows.  The last person from Baylor to receive this honor was Dr. Melvin Spira in 2004.
