The Plastic Surgery Interest Group aims to change the representations and set the record straight by broadening student exposure to Plastic Surgery as an innovative and essential specialty. PSIG will give students the opportunity to interact with real plastic surgeons and PS residents as a group and in individual shadowing experiences, learn about the various subspecialties within plastic surgery, practice essential PS techniques like subcutaneous suturing and microsurgery, and discover how to maximize their time at Wash U and prepare their resumes for plastic surgery residency applications. The establishment of PSIG will give Wash U medical students a richer selection of co-curricular activities and provide an important resource for students in all four years interested in pursuing the specialty.
