His clinical interests focus on both autologous and alloplastic breast reconstruction, microsurgical head and neck reconstruction, and complex abdominal wall reconstruction. His research goals are to improve the real time translation of patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) from research instruments to clinical tools with the potential to directly improve outcomes. He is also interested in improving early recovery and functional outcomes after breast reconstruction. 24 Farooq Shahzad, MBBS, FACS, FAAP Assistant Attending Surgeon Plastic and Reconstructive Service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Assistant Professor of Surgery Weill Medical College of Cornell University Education: MBBS, Aga Khan University (Pakistan) MS, Northwestern University Residencies: West Virginia University, General Surgery Oregon Health & Science University, Plastic Surgery Fellowships: Washington University in St Louis, Craniofacial & Pediatric Plastic Surgery Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Reconstructive Microsurgery 25 Selected publications: Jejunum Flap for Pharyngeal Reconstruction Shahzad F, Mehrara BJ.
