In collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, UPMC’s Department of Plastic Surgery offers many educational opportunities through its residency and fellowship programs.
Our mission is to cultivate and nurture future leaders, surgeon-scientists, and academic surgeons who will become the next generation of program directors.
Led by Vu T. Nguyen, MD, the residency program consists of both integrated and independent training pathways.
We also offer a competency-based training program that makes it possible for residents to graduate at the end of five clinical years, rather than the usual six.
