Plastic Surgery - Integrated - Gainesville, FL | ACGME Code: 3621100158 | NRMP Code: 1824362C0
The University of Florida offers a Plastic Surgery Residency Program with both Independent and Integrated Pathways. A recent study highlighted the evolving trends in academic plastic surgery training, emphasizing differences between graduates of integrated and independent pathways in terms of career choices, academic productivity, and leadership positions.
The study found that independent graduates had higher levels of National Institutes of Health funding, h-index, and publication numbers compared to integrated graduates. Integrated graduates were more likely to hold assistant professor positions and required less time post-residency to advance in their careers. Overall, the training pathway appeared to influence research output, qualifications, and academic positions for plastic surgeons, with a growing interest and productivity in academic medicine among integrated graduates.
The program's emphasis on both pathways provides students with the opportunity to tailor their training to align with their career goals and academic interests in the field of plastic surgery.
