In addition, we have a structured, comprehensive curriculum that includes:

• Protected education time for didactic conferences
• Microvascular skills course and frequent microvascular training sessions
• Cadaver labs and access to anatomy specimens for focused teaching on surgical anatomy and specific procedures
• Nationally and internationally renowned plastic surgery visiting professors
• Faculty-led journal clubs discussing current literature
• International cleft education trip and access to the Mayo International Health Program (MIHP)
• Access to our world class Mayo Clinic Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses
• Research training and support for residents to attend and present at national and international conferences (up to five per year)
