I have been researching my options to get into usa and practice as a plastic surgeon. I will be completing my plastics residency in a few months. I understand that, as a foreigner, this is a long and difficult process I am facing. I have looked into plastic residency, fellowships, brun fellowships, plastic surgery research fellowships just to get my foot in the door. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thank you,

larry
 
You have to do a plastic surgery residency or general followed by plastic fellowship. Try SF MATCH org for pre residency positions in plastic surgery and take off from there if possible. I guess the first step would be internship in general surgery.
