Training in aesthetic surgery was previously inadequate for many residents. An Academic Aesthetic Surgery Service was established to address this, showing encouraging preliminary results and acceptance by patients and the medical community.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Resident training in aesthetic surgery has historically been a significant challenge for program directors.
  • A 1982 survey indicated that a majority of surveyed University of Toronto residents found their aesthetic surgery training inadequate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the identified deficit in aesthetic surgery training.
  • To outline the organization and function of a newly established Academic Aesthetic Surgery Service.
  • To report on the initial year of operation for this specialized service.

Main Methods:

  • Establishment of an Academic Aesthetic Surgery Service at Toronto Western Hospital in 1986.
  • Observation and reporting of the service's organization, function, and patient/resident interactions during its first year.

  • Evaluation of acceptance by patients, residents, and the broader plastic surgery community.

    • Main Results:

    • The Academic Aesthetic Surgery Service has been operational for one year.
    • Preliminary results indicate a positive reception and acceptance of the service.
    • The service has gained acceptance among patients, residents, and the plastic surgery community.

    Conclusions:

    • The establishment of a dedicated Academic Aesthetic Surgery Service appears to be an effective solution to improve resident training in this subspecialty.
    • The initial year of operation suggests the service is well-received and integrated into the plastic surgery training environment.
