Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Combined Plastic Surgery Residency Program at Boonshoft School of Medicine. We invite you to explore the many facets of our program, our research and our annual community service projects. As an academic division in a medical school, we strive to graduate highly competent and compassionate practitioners in plastic surgery. Our program encompasses clinical and didactic experience in plastic, maxillofacial surgery, orthognathic surgery, hand surgery and combined orthopedic plastic surgery hand service, teaching techniques, research in cell biology and wounds. A curious and problem-oriented attitude is fostered by an evidence-based medicine practice-based and improvement learning, case analysis and faculty role models. Confidence is promoted through active evaluation and feedback.

Our program received its initial accreditation in May 2006 for a three-year independent program. Our first resident began on July 2006. The program is accredited for one resident per year. We are accepting applicants to match for an R-1 Surgery Preliminary/Plastic Surgery/Advanced Plastic Surgery slot to begin in July 2010 through ERAS.

The Plastic Surgery Residency is now a combined three-year General Surgery and three-year Plastic Surgery program, supported by area hospitals including Children's Medical Center of Dayton, Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center, Kettering Memorial Hospital, Miami Valley Hospital and Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.
