The Department of Plastic Surgery offers medical students a wide variety of training opportunities at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Our rotations provide exposure to the full spectrum of plastic surgery including but not limited to congenital and traumatic craniofacial reconstruction, microsurgery, hand surgery, breast surgery, general reconstructive surgery, and cosmetic surgery.
Our four-week comprehensive sub-internship is designed to teach at the PGY-1 (intern) level. In addition to broad exposure to operative plastic surgery, students are expected to see and evaluate consultations, round in the ward, and participate in pre- and post-operative patient care.
We are pleased to offer a competitive visiting student scholarship to up to 5 applicants a year. Click here for more information.
