Board certification is a rigorous process that serves as a primary indicator of a physician’s competency to practice in a medical specialty.

For all physicians who train in the United States, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) is the gold standard for…

…physician certification in the United States and has only 24 member boards – Dr. Lin is certified by 2 of those member boards of medicine, Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The ABMS has recognized only the American Board of Plastic Surgery as identifying board certified plastic surgeons who practice in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Lin serves as Associate Program Director of the Harvard Plastic Surgery Residency Training Program, and he is co-director of the Harvard Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Fellowship at BIDMC. He serves as an Associate Editor on the Editorial board for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the main journal for plastic surgery.
