How can we inspire junior trainees to consider a career in plastic surgery as a basis to pursue humanitarian work?

ConclusionsTrainee doctors are willing to take part in HMSA but are less inclined to do this through plastic surgery. Plastic surgical societies could help promote HMSA at conferences and provide an insight into the pathway and potentially through the creation of HMSA mentorship programmes for junior doctors. Non-profit plastic surgery organisations could promote trainee involvement in surgical admissions providing an insight into the role of a plastic surgeon in HMSA.Level of evidenceNot Gradable
