Some program reviews for future applicants
Hopefully, this post will be well received by future plastic surgery applicants. It is purely intended to be one individual's opinion of various programs and in no way a condemnation of any program. IMHO, every program graduates competent residents it just depends on what you want from a training program. During the application process I enjoyed reading varying accounts of PRS programs and thought I would give back. Here are some brief pros and cons of several places:

How to Match in Plastic Surgery
What does it take? There are a lot of really old threads on this topic, so I wanted to open up a new post. Here's what I've heard - research, connections, Step 1, etc. --- what teases apart a strong applicant? What can you do you make yourself competitive during each year of medical school MS 1, 2, 3, 4?

Plastic Surgery Sub-I Tutor
The absolute key to doing well on Plastic Surgery rotations is meeting someone who will tell you the answers to the secret questions that you are guaranteed to be asked. In plastic surgery, for every operation or problem, there are classic questions that have been passed down through the generations of attendings, residents and medical students. They are so repeated that all medical students will learn them by the end of their 2nd or 3rd sub-I. However, you want to be the rare all-star...

Books for Plastic Surgery Sub-I?
Any tips for what books would be good for my plastic surgery rotations? I have been looking around and it seems like these are the top options:
1. Michigan manual of plastic surgery
2. The Hand: Anatomy, Examination. and Diagnosis
3. Grabb and Smith's Plastic Surgery
I have a pocket version of Plastic Surgery Essentials for Medical Students, is it worth getting another pocket book such as Michigan Manual? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Future Surgical Specialities
Hi All,
I've been doing quite a bit of reading into the history of surgery, and it raised the question "are there any more surgical specialities to create?" . In the near future or ever at all do you think there are more surgical specialities to create as Harold Gillies did with modern plastic surgery, Harvey Cushing for modern neurosurgery and Jones with orthopaedics. My thinking is that we have all body parts and ages covered so there isn't really any space for new surgical specialities,...

Blindsided
I really don’t understand how these companies get away with this stuff. Charging $1300 for a patient with a lac you call a plastic surgeon to fix or a corneal abrasion is just insane.
Makes us all look bad. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Best rhinoplasty surgeon in NYC
Does any one have an opinion about who is the best rhinoplasty surgeon in NYC. I am researching this procedure for my 20 year old daughter. She has a hump and a "droopy" tip. I have been told she will require a septal tip graft, hump reduction and osteotomies.This would be a primary rhinoplasty for her. Since there might be some ENT residents and Facial Plastic Surgery Fellows on this forum, I thought I would ask. I am looking for a doctors doctor. NYC would be most convenient, but I would...
