Plastic Surgery Residency Program
The University of Arizona Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers a three-year Independent Plastic Surgery Residency.
The Independent Model
The Independent Plastic Surgery Residency Program at the University of Arizona is an ACGME accredited pathway into Plastic Surgery in which residents complete three years of concentrated plastic surgery education, with 12 months of chief responsibility, after successful completion of one of the following prerequisite curricula:
Prerequisite Education
The applicant to the Independent Model must have satisfactorily completed a formal training program (and are board admissible or certified) in general surgery, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, urology, or oral and maxillofacial surgery (the latter requiring two years of general surgery training in addition to an MD/DDS). Successful completion of these ACGME or ADA accredited programs fulfills the prerequisite training requirement.
Residents can officially begin a plastic surgery training program after completion of these prerequisite options, which all require confirmation by the ABPS (Evaluation of Training Form with confirmation letter regarding the acceptability of the prerequisite training for the ABPS certification process).
