2.Pittsburg
3.UTSW
4.UCLA
5.UCSF

7.UPenn
8.Stanford
9.Michigan
10.Emory

An for train as a fellow:

Can't put integrated with independent

I would separate Integrated training:
NYU
Michigan
Stanford
Pitt
UTSW
Penn
Penn St
Northwestern

THen Independent
UCLA
Cleveland Clinics
Emory
Vanderbilt
Duke
Harvard
UTSW (both)
Pitt (1 of 4 independent)


However - I completely disagree with this list
How can anyone rank the "best"? It depends on what you want. Akron has a great general plastic surgery program. Loyola is great for reconstruction/micro and independent decision making, like Emory.
So - I don't think we can say who is best, unless we look at specific variables. Is it best for getting a fellowship? Is it best for cases? Or best for going out in practice?

Thanks

You have to add UAB to the independent programs. Luis Vasconez is one of the greatest plastic surgeons of our generation. UAB is number one is NIH research money as well.
