Trends in the research profile of matched independent plastic surgery fellows
The independent plastic surgery pathway recruits candidates with 5 years of surgical training who are typically more advanced in research than their integrated counterparts. Research productivity helps to discriminate between applicants. However, no studies exist detailing the academic attributes of matched independent plastic surgery candidates. We performed a cohort study of 161 independen…
