Year three, or PGY-3, is the transitional year with greater emphasis in plastic surgery. The resident is expected to take on a more senior role with administrative responsibilities at the Jackson South Medical Center for six months out of the year. At Jackson South, the resident will spend time in general and vascular surgery, as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. Significant surgical skills will be acquired in vascular surgery and microsurgical techniques. The final three months of the year are spent on plastic surgery rotations at the Bruce W.
The resident is expected to start excelling at the plastic surgery in-service exam in the third year. Trainees are exposed to a wide variety of plastic surgical experiences in both traumatic and elective settings.
The vast majority of the year is spent in reconstruction rather than cosmetic surgery. The resident is provided graduated responsibility compared to the previous year and is also exposed to more complex reconstructive surgery including dozens of microsurgical three flaps as the primary surgeon.
A two-month rotation on hand surgery, both on the orthopaedic and the plastic services further strengthens the hand surgical experience. Year six, or PGY-6, is the final year of the plastic surgery residency and when residents will serve as administrative chiefs for equal periods.
Under faculty guidance, they supervise the clinic at Jackson Memorial Hospital where they evaluate candidates for surgical procedures and schedule them for surgery, including cosmetic surgery. This serves as an invaluable bridge to eventual independent practice upon graduation. The year also provides experiences in anesthesia; dermatology; ear, nose and throat; oculoplastics and cosmetic, oral maxillofacial and pediatric surgery. Helen G. John C.
