Public data-quality report
Trust begins with
visible gaps.
PlasticFellow publishes what an official source supports—and labels what still needs confirmation.
Subspecialty scope
Focused training, with visible unanswered questions
The active directory groups 1008 profiles into 21 subspecialties. 24 broad training, general travel awards, unfocused research routes or expired vacancy notices are archived outside the current directory. A post-specialty additional-year residency may remain when its published training is a defined subspecialty; its actual appointment format stays explicit. Focused subspecialty research fellowships may accept medical students, graduates or residents; research eligibility does not establish operative privileges.
Every active profile records training scope, eligibility, duration, participation, international criteria, funding, recruitment, application route and official sources. A recorded field may still state that the host has not published the answer. The table below counts planning questions flagged from that wording, not verified vacancies or an accreditation score.

The CSV includes each profile, source, recorded document count, review date and questions to clarify. It is a planning aid; confirm current terms with the host.
Methodology
How a profile earns its place
A source review checks published evidence; it does not verify that every field is complete or the programme is recruiting.
- DiscoverA candidate programme is identified through an institution or professional society.
- TraceThe programme is matched to a direct official page, document or society-hosted listing.
- ExtractOnly fields supported by that source are recorded. Missing details stay missing.
- DateEvery profile receives a visible review date and a conservative application status.
- CorrectInstitutions and users can submit an official source supporting an update.
