So You Want to Become a Plastic Surgeon? What You Need to Do and Know to Get into a Plastic Surgery Residency
Nagarkar, Purushottam M.D.; Pulikkottil, Benson M.D.; Patel, Anup M.B.A., M.D.; Rohrich, Rod J. M.D.http://journals.lww.com/plasreconsu...to_Become_a_Plastic_Surgeon__What_You.46.aspx
This 2013 article, written by physicians in an academic journal for plastic surgeons, says that the plastic surgery residency applicant has an average of 7 publications. That just seems like an impossible amount to have. Assuming that you didn't have any publications in undergrad, that means an applicant would have to have 2 publications per year in med school.
Can anybody give some insight on the truth of this statement?
