Description
Sam Boroumand and eight co-authors present a 2024 assessment of who leads plastic surgery fellowship programs in the United States. Fellowship directors pick and mentor the next generation of subspecialists, so their diversity, or lack of it, shapes the field's future. Hard numbers across all major programs were lacking.
In late 2023, the team surveyed listings from the societies behind the five main fellowships: hand, craniofacial, microsurgery, aesthetic, and burn surgery. They identified 248 directors and researched each one's gender and ethnic background. The paper reports the shares group by group and fellowship by fellowship. The authors weigh what the gaps mean for mentorship and access.
