Hey guys, I'm a current plastic surgery resident in the US. I thought it might be nice to start this thread in an attempt to answer any questions applicants may have as I know information can sometimes be difficult to come by.
I'm happy to answer any questions pertaining to the application process, interview trail, pro/cons of programs (though I certainly don't have intimate knowledge of most of them), how to pick programs, fellowships, career tracks, etc. I'm mainly targeting this towards current and near-current applicants. Frankly, most of these questions would be better answered by residents at your current program, but I know it can sometimes be daunting to ask them random questions for fear of bothering them, tipping them off to interests in other programs, etc. Or maybe you don't have a plastics program at your home institution. Whatever the reason, I'm hoping to provide an anonymous resource.
With that said, I will not reveal personal information about myself except that I am a junior resident at an integrated plastics program in the US. I am busy, but I'll try and check this thread most evenings.
Ask away...
