40-55 hours

Every residency offers a different ratio, most commonly around 60-65% inpatient to ~40% outpatient. However, it is very hard to quantify this as a succinct number becaus because PM&R is so flexible and as an attending you can pretty much tailor your practice to whatever ratio of inpatient to outpatient time you would prefer Some fellowships (i.e. sports) tend to favor outpatient-heavy schedules, whereas others (like brain injury) can be closer to even or possible inpatient-heavy

ESIR: 1 (Intern) + 4 (Residency) + 1 (Fellowship)​

Traditional: 1 (Intern) + 4 (Residency) + 2 (Fellowship)

*Integrated IR residency is 3 years of Diagnostic Radiology followed by 2 years of dedicated IR

Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) is a pathway by which DR residents at programs offering ESIR can switch onto an IR track where their elective time is spent on IR, thus necessitating only 1 year of IR fellowship afterwards (Usually at the same institution, and amounting to 6 years total, same as integrated IR residency).

Most programs are Advanced Programs, meaning you match for a PGY-2 position which is contingent upon you separately matching into an intern year. Few programs are Categorical, meaning you match with Radiology combined with an intern year (same program, starting PGY-1)

Lifestyle of Specialty

Recent study published stated that plastic and reconstructive surgery residents worked an averaged of 64.2 hours/week (not including call) [1]. Of note, the amount of hours you can expect to work per week will vary significantly depending on a few factors. Firstly, the service you are on. Typically, an inpatient service will require longer hours than an outpatient or ambulatory setting. Secondly, your level of training. For example, an intern will likely work different hours compared to a PGY-2 who is on a consult block, and they will work very different schedules than PGY-6 chief resident who is responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the team. Finally, the workload will vary, at least to an extent, depending on an instiutions volume and culture. One can expect a level one trauma center embedded within a large metropolitan city to have more volume than a smaller community hospital with a more rural population. There may also be other influential factors like time of year, size of program, and efficacy of team.

52.2 Hours/week according to a 2023 report, though these numbers will vary depending on setting and specialization

Will depend on setting (academic vs private practice) and field of specialty (aesthetics vs reconstruction for example). Here are some posted public numbers: $576,000 [1], $473,00 [2],

This ratio may be better represented by percentage of plastic surgeons in academic settings (inpatient heavy) versus private practice (almost exclusively outpatient setting). A recent study which surveyed plastic surgeons in California yielded results that most plastic surgeons are in private practice (62.5%) versus in academic setting (27.7%)

There are two pathways you can take to become a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.

The first one, known as the traditional or independent fellowship pathway, involves completing a three year fellowship following a residency in another specialty (normally General Surgery, but you can do it after ENT, Ortho, or Neurosurgery). This is still a viable opportunity for many applicants, though it has largely been repalced by the newer integrated pathway.

The integrated pathway involves a six-year residency program tailored exclusivly to training plastic and reconstructive surgeons, without needing to apply for a fellowship. Most plastic surgery residencies fall into the integrated category, though there are several programs that provide both independent and integrated paths.

After completing plastic and reconstructive surgery training (whether via an integrated or independent track) you have a handful of fellowships you may complete. There are five major categories of fellowships that applicants may choose including aesthetic, burn, craniofacial (and/or pediatric plastic surgery as a smaller subset of this), hand, and microsurgery. Most residency programs will train you individually in all of these disciplines, so in general a post-residency fellowship is not required. Somewhere between 30-50% of plastic suregry residents will pursue a fellowship after residency training.[1]
