    The Veterans Affairs Medical Center's Contribution to Plastic Surgery Education
    (American Medical Association, 2018-03-01) Sasor, Sarah E.; Chu, Michael W.; Evans, Tyler A.; Cook, Julia A.; Wooden, William A.; Cohen, Adam C.; Tholpady, Sunil S.; Surgery, School of Medicine
    Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers have played a major role in graduate medical education since the 1940s. Currently, the VA health system operates 168 medical centers across the United States and supports the clinical training of more than 41 200 medical residents annually. Teaching hospitals within the VA provide subspecialty medical and surgical care and perform the majority of complex and high-risk surgical procedures. The diversity of pathologic conditions requiring a plastic surgery skill set are prominent within the VA population: cancer reconstruction, hand surgery, facial fractures, and burn care. Educational opportunities are ample. Plastic surgery residents in university-based training programs typically rotate at the VA hospital for several months each year. This study examines the relationship between the plastic surgery service and resident education within the VA hospitals.
