          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción y objetivo. La formación y la docencia son dos objetivos fundamentales de la Federación Ibero Latinoamericana de Cirugía Plástica (FILACP), entidad compuesta por las Sociedades Nacionales de Cirugía Plástica de 22 países de Ibero Latinoamérica. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue poner en común y discutir la situación de la formación especializada en Cirugía Plástica en los diferentes países miembros de la FILACP, en una reunión en la que estuvieron presentes tutores acreditados por cada una de la Sociedades Nacionales de Cirugía Plástica que componen la Federación. Material y método. Se realizaron encuestas y entrevistas personales a tutores y representantes de las sociedades nacionales miembros de la FILACP, en las que se recabó información sobre oferta docente anual y servicios acreditados, proceso de admisión, duración del periodo formativo, financiación de la formación, periodos lectivos anuales, métodos de supervisión y métodos de evaluación. Los resultados obtenidos se contrastaron y pusieron en común durante el Encuentro Internacional de Tutores de la FILACP celebrado en abril de 2022 en San José, Costa Rica. Resultados. En los paises de la Federación se formó en 2021 a un total de 539 residentes en 245 servicios docentes acreditados, siendo aproximadamente la oferta media de 1 residente por cada 700.000 habitantes. El examen fue la principal vía de acceso a la especialidad, cuya duración osciló entre 3 y 5 años, siendo 3 años lo más frecuente. Los periodos lectivos anuales estuvieron en rangos entre 1920 y 4150 horas, siendo la cifra más frecuente en torno a 2500 horas al año. La supervisión por plantilla y el jefe de residentes fueron figuras establecidas en muchos centros, y el examen fue el método de evaluación más extendido. Conclusiones. La FILACP es una potencia formativa y docente notable con un gran número de servicios acreditados y residentes cada año, pero la estructura formativa presenta una notable variabilidad entre las naciones que la componen, lo cual dificulta la homologación de los profesionales y la implantación de políticas comunes.

          Abstract Background and objective. Training and teaching are two fundamental objectives of the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP), an entity composed of the National Societies of Plastic Surgery of 22 Ibero-Latin American countries. The aim of our work was to share and discuss the situation of specialized training in Plastic Surgery in the different member countries of FILACP, in a meeting where tutors accredited from all the Plastic Surgery National Societies of the Federation were present. Methods. Surveys and personal interviews were carried out with tutors and representatives of the national societies members of FILACP, in which information was collected on the annual teaching offer and accredited services, admission process, duration of the training period, financing of the training, annual teaching periods, supervision methods and evaluation methods. The results obtained were contrasted and shared during the FILACP International Meeting of Tutors held in April 2022 in San José, Costa Rica. Results. In the Federation countries, a total of 539 residents were formed in 2021 in 245 accredited teaching services, the average supply being approximately 1 resident per 700.000 inhabitants. The examination was the main access route to the specialty, the duration of which ranged from 3 to 5 years, with 3 years being the most frequent. Annual teaching periods ranged from 1920 to 4150 hours, the most frequent figure being around 2500 hours per year. Supervision by staff and chief resident were established figures in many centers, and examination was the most widespread method of evaluation. Conclusions. FILACP is a remarkable training and teaching power with a large number of accredited services and residents each year, but the training structure shows considerable variability among its member nations, making it difficult to standardize professionals and implement common policies.

          Plastic Surgery Training Worldwide: Part 1. The United States and Europe

          Background: Major differences exist in residency training, and the structure and quality of residency programs differ between different countries and teaching centers. It is of vital importance that a better understanding of the similarities and differences in plastic surgery training be ascertained as a means of initiating constructive discussion and commentary among training programs worldwide. In this study, the authors provide an overview of plastic surgery training in the United States and Europe. Methods: A survey was sent to select surgeons in 10 European countries that were deemed to be regular contributors to the plastic surgery literature. The questions focused on pathway to plastic surgery residency, length of training, required pretraining experience, training scheme, research opportunities, and examinations during and after plastic surgery residency. Results: Plastic surgery residency training programs in the United States differ from the various (selected) countries in Europe and are described in detail. Conclusions: Plastic surgery education is vastly different between the United States and Europe, and even within Europe, training programs remain heterogeneous. Standardization of curricula across the different countries would improve the interaction of different centers and facilitate the exchange of vital information for quality control and future improvements. The unique characteristics of the various training programs potentially provide a basis from which to learn and to gain from one another.
