Background

Carisa M. Cooney is an assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She serves as a clinical research manager in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

She is a member of the Surgical Residency Redesign Faculty Team, which in 2013 was awarded a five-year grant aimed at improving residency training, efficiency, evaluation and business practice modules, ultimately with an eye toward decreasing the time necessary to complete training.
