Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Subinternships are integral to integrated plastic and reconstructive surgery residency applications.
  • Significant institutional variation exists in evaluating subinterns, providing feedback, and comparing performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather expert opinions from program directors on the limitations of current subinternship evaluations.
  • To identify areas for improvement in the medical student evaluation process for plastic surgery residency.

Main Methods:

  • Standardized interviews were conducted with 9 current and former integrated plastic and reconstructive surgery residency program directors.
  • Expert opinions were elicited regarding the strengths and weaknesses of subinternships.

Main Results:

  • Subinternships effectively assess intangible qualities like teamwork and work ethic.
  • Respondents highlighted a lack of real-time performance feedback and transparency in recommendation letter quality.
  • The reputation of letter writers may unfairly overshadow subintern performance.

Conclusions:

  • There is a need for more consistent and equitable evaluation methods for plastic surgery subinternships.
  • Improving feedback mechanisms and recommendation letter transparency would benefit both applicants and residency programs.
  • Standardizing subinternship evaluations is essential for fair assessment in plastic surgery residency selection.
