Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Career Development

Background:

  • Medical students at institutions without plastic surgery residency programs face disadvantages in the match.
  • The "Explore Plastic Surgery" program was developed to address this gap.
  • This study evaluated the program's impact, utility, and success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact and utility of the "Explore Plastic Surgery" educational program.
  • To evaluate the program's success in preparing students for plastic surgery careers.
  • To understand the program's effect on students' perceptions of barriers.

Main Methods:

  • Pre- and post-event surveys were administered to participants.
  • Survey data included demographics, perceived barriers, and event utility.
  • Statistical analysis was performed on collected survey data.

Main Results:

  • Increased understanding of steps toward a plastic surgery career (P < 0.001).
  • Enhanced confidence in overcoming barriers (P = 0.005) and faculty outreach (P = 0.01).
  • Reduced perception of negative impact from lacking a home program (P = 0.006).

Conclusions:

  • The program significantly increased participants' confidence and reduced perceived disadvantages.
  • Early exposure and recruitment initiatives are crucial for plastic surgery accessibility and diversity.
  • The "Explore Plastic Surgery" program demonstrates effectiveness in supporting students without home programs.
