The following describes a typical schedule for a plastic surgery resident. Rotation order will of course vary.
All rotations are three months long.
You will perform general and specialized plastic surgery under the supervision of a Mayo consultant. You will gain experience with hand surgery, acute burn management and the treatment of secondary burn deformities. Mayo funds the authorized additional costs of travel, housing, car rental and licensure fees. Our residents consistently rate this rotation very highly. Your second year of training will begin at Maricopa Medical Center where you will learn about facial trauma, cleft lip and cleft palate procedures.
