Introducing our CARE PRS Fellow for 2026-2027: Ryan Guidi! Ryan is a medical student at Rush Medical College in Chicago 🏙️, and although he’ll miss the Windy City 🌬️❤️, he’s thrilled to be heading to the Bay Area for the year 🌲☀️! When he’s not doing research or in the OR, you can find Ryan hiking through the nearest trail 🥾, weightlifting 🏋️, exploring new coffee shops ☕, or planning his next adventure abroad ✈️! Ryan is passionate about craniofacial reconstruction, microsurgery, advocacy, and plastic surgery education. He is dedicated to growing CARE’s reach and building opportunities for the next generation of plastic surgeons. We can’t wait to see everything he accomplishes this year. Welcome, Ryan! by @care.prs
