Observership
Samsung Medical Center Observership — Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
A hospital-wide observership scheme at Samsung Medical Center that lists Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery among the departments accepting observers. The scheme is not specific to one subspecialty; the department's own doctor listing shows clinical interests in breast reconstruction, microsurgical reconstruction, skin cancer and craniofacial conditions (craniosynostosis, cleft lip and palate), so focus tags reflect the department rather than a defined observer curriculum.
