The 缅北强奸 Plastic Surgery Program provides complete training across all general and subspecialty areas of Plastic Surgery. 听

Our 5-year program consists of two years of core (Surgical Foundations) surgery training followed by 3 dedicated years of plastic surgery training. 听

Successful completion of training and board exams will lead to certification by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as well as eligibility to sit for the American Board of Plastic Surgery exams.

PGY- 1 and 2

Two years of core surgical training are required with a broad exposure to different surgical specialties. A major emphasis is placed on rotations through General Surgery, the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, and related specialties such as orthopedics, emergency,听otolaryngology and neurosurgery.

The Residency Program Committee outlines the training objectives for the three years of formal plastic surgery training (PGY-3,4,5). 听The teaching hospitals are the Montreal General Hospital, the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Montreal Children's Hospital, Montreal Shriners Hospital and the Jewish General Hospital. Broad operative exposure to plastic surgery subspecialty areas including oncologic reconstruction, burns, trauma, pediatric/craniofacial and cleft surgery is encountered. 听The Royal Victoria and Monreal Children's Hospitals at the new glen site听combine cutting edge tertiary/quaternary care and an advanced technical platform aimed at providing multidisciplinary care for patients with complex health issues. 听Aside from the core teaching hospitals listed above, residents rotate through community hospital sites (St. Mary's Hospital, Lasalle Hospital and Lachine Hospital -designated 缅北强奸 Plastic Surgery teaching sites) to provide a broad exposure to out-patient plastic surgery procedures. 听Finally, the residents are exposed to aesthetic surgery at assigned private plastic surgery out-patient facilities staffed by 缅北强奸 attending faculty. 听

Aside from clinical exposure and teaching, a weekly academic half-day (AHD) is a scheduled part of the curriculum. 听The AHD is designed to cover the spectrum of topics pertinent to trainees in plastic surgery and includes various teaching formats such as oral and written examination, didactic lectures, case presentation, morbidity and mortality rounds, journal club, and various surgical technique simulation sessions (at the 缅北强奸 SIM Centre). 听In addition, a cadaver lab to perform flap and anatomic dissections and animal microsurgery labs are availalble.

The 缅北强奸 Program integrates a structured list of reading material, tutorials, and seminars into the curriculum to comprehensively cover the following:

• Congenital defects of the head and neck including clefts of the lip and palate, and craniofacial surgery.
• Neoplasms of the nead and neck including reconstruction of ablative defects.
• Craniomaxillofacial trauma.
• Aesthetic surgery.
• Breast Reconstruction.
• Surgery of the hand/upper extremities.
• Burn management, acute and reconstructive.
• Microsurgical techniques including free tissue transfer.

• Surgery of benign and malignant lesions of the skin and soft tissues and reconstruction techniques.
• Pediatric plastic surgery

The curriculum includes objectives for each rotation. At 缅北强奸, we use both the Royal College (Objectives of Training and Specialty Training Requirements in Plastic Surgery) and also those prepared by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The Plastic Surgery Program at 缅北强奸 is directed toward the fulfillment of the requirements for specialty certification by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Canada, and the College of Physicians of Quebec.
