Plastic Surgery Fellowship
The training program in Plastic Surgery at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is a three-year Independent Program that trains individuals that have met the prerequisite training requirements defined by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The prerequisite training requirements can be met by completing five progressive years of training in general surgery sufficient to qualify for certification by the American Board of Surgery or by completing and reaching Board eligibility in a formal, ACGME–accredited training program in one of the following ABMS specialties: vascular surgery, neurologic surgery, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, thoracic surgery, or urology. Alternatively, individuals with both a dental and medical degree may meet the perquisite requirements by completing an ADA-approved training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery that includes 2 years of Surgery training. The goal of our Plastic Surgery training program is the development of a competent and responsible Plastic Surgeon with high moral and ethical character.
