Abstract

[Plastic surgery training has undergone and evolution in the recent past, like several other surgical specialties, and no longer follows the paradigm of surgical residency followed by specialty training. Although those traditional pathways exist, and allow for entry into plastic surgery from several specialties, integrated programs allow students to match into plastic surgery from medical school. This chapter examines both pathways and offers thoughts on how to be successful in pursuing training in plastic surgery.]
