How does one become a plastic surgeon in the US?
A good friend of mine has just finished her first four years of medical school in Germany.
She would now embark on another four years of more specialized study and residency at a local hospital.
Her goal is to become a plastic surgeon for reconstructive and beauty surgery in the US.
If she could, she would like to do her last four years of study here too, but does not know how to even start. Requirements for medical schools and hospitals are hard to find and I haven’t been able to locate a single explicit program for plastic surgery yet.
She has a 4-year med degree from Germany.
Now what would she need to enter the field of Plastic Surgery in the US?
If anybody knows of any good Hospitals or Med Schools in New York, NJ or PA, it would be even better.
If she intends to become a plastic surgeon in the US, she must enter the residency program in the US. If she completes her residency in Germany, then she better stay in Germany because she’ll have to start all over as a 1st year resident in US. There are many residency programs in NY, NJ, and PA, it’s best if she asks her med school which has the best acceptance for foreign med school grad.
