Highlight & Takeaways

Session 30

What do wrapping high-end Mustangs and Integrated Plastic Surgery have in common? More than you think. Join host Deana Golini as she interviews Augustine, an upcoming graduate of UT Long School of Medicine and incoming Integrated Plastic Surgery resident at Baylor Scott & White Hospital. Augustine breaks down his unique “aha” moment, explaining how his background in an automotive “auto salon” prepared him for the intricate demands of tissue tension and aesthetics. He shares the high-stakes reality of applying to a specialty with only ~180 spots nationwide, the strategic importance of “Goldilocks” away rotations, and the “Match Day” moment that felt like a professional draft.

Whether you’re interested in the “surgical-art” of plastics or navigating med school as a first-gen student, Augustine’s journey offers a masterclass in staying disciplined and human throughout the grind.
