This
three-year training program is fully approved for two residents per year, 6 total. The
program involves the University
Hospitals and Clinics, Veterans
Affairs Medical Center, and several private practices.
The full-time faculty consists of four plastic surgeons, two PhDs, and one
instructor in microsurgery. There are 14 part-time faculty as well. This
program
has strong emphasis on microsurgery and congenital deformities including
craniofacial anomalies. There is also a large volume of craniofacial and
hand trauma. The
hand service is shared with orthopaedic surgery, while all replantations
are carried out by plastic surgery.
There is strong commitment
to basic and clinical research. Areas of interest include free radical pathophysiology,
wound healing, flap physiology and peripheral nerve pathophysiology. The division
has an established lab headed by two full-time PhDs. Residents have won several
national plastic surgery research awards.
Last year the total number
of plastic surgery procedures carried out at the University of Mississippi
Medical Center was 1500.
Residents attend at least
one national meeting each year. Residents must take the Plastic Surgery In-Service
Exam every year, and are expected to study Selected Readings in Plastic Surgery.
