Hi! I am a dominican medical student on my 4th year of a 6 year program without american citizenship or residency. What do I need to obtain a spot on the Plastic Surgery program at the University of South Florida? And if is not possible, which Plastic Surgery program specializing in reconstructive surgery would you recommend on eithe Florida, NY or any east coast state for foreign student? I am really lost so any help would be really appreciated!

The honest truth is that it is very, very unlikely that you're going to get any Plastic Surgery position, anywhere in the US. Plastics is one of the most competitive fields that exist. Last year, there were 3 IMG's who were able to get Plastics spots -- and chances are they had lots of research or other connections to a program.
