AB  - INTRODUCTION: Resident Aesthetic Clinics (RACs) are an important element for 
      training in plastic surgery residency programs. RACs provide increased exposure 
      to aesthetic surgery as well as greater autonomy in clinical decision making. In 
      an effort to increase RAC volume and thereby enhance resident education, we made 
      two important changes to our operations. First, we reduced the resident surgeons' 
      fees by 75%, and second, we began utilizing social media to promote our residency 
      program and their involvement in aesthetic surgery. METHODS: Total RAC cases were 
      queried using a RAC specific billing code and individual chief resident case logs 
      for quality control. To generate an accurate timeframe, cases and procedures were 
      compared from 18 months before and after the implemented changes. RESULTS: We 
      found that the number of cases and procedures increased by 135% and 255%, 
      respectively. The five most commonly performed procedures were liposuction, 
      augmentation mammoplasty, abdominoplasty, mastopexy, and rhytidectomy. 
      CONCLUSION: By both reducing the resident surgeons' fee and promoting the RAC on 
      social media, we have demonstrated a pronounced increase in both cases and 
      procedures performed by residents. As other institutions seek to increase 
      resident exposure to aesthetic surgery, they may consider similar changes to 
      these. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of
