Combined vs. Integrated?

I saw two lists for Plastic Surgery programs on ERAS website...one of links is for Integrated programs and the other link, it just says "Plastic Surgery."

Can anyone shed some light on what the "Plastic Surgery" list is referring to? is it referring to combined programs? How updated is this list?

Thanks.

The "integrated" list is the 0+6 programs. The "plastic surgery" list is all the other 3+3 and fellowship-model independent programs. The 3+3 programs have a "p" for participating in their column. While the independent fellowship-model programs have an "np" for not-participating, as they are part of a different application and match process.

This will explain the difference in training models, and why there are two different lists.
