Before you shortlist
How to compare the training
Use these questions alongside each programme's published facts. Eligibility, participation and funding must be confirmed for the specific appointment.
Map the acute and reconstructive balance
Ask how time is divided between acute admissions, intensive care, excision and coverage, later reconstruction and outpatient follow-up. Check whether adult and paediatric care are both included.
Check the team and teaching structure
Request the weekly plan for operating, ward care, multidisciplinary meetings, rehabilitation, research and teaching. Ask how the service supervises the fellow during emergency and out-of-hours work.
Verify the exact credential
Distinguish burn centre verification, fellowship programme verification and any separately accredited critical care component. Check the named programme and current status with the responsible organisation.
Confirm fellowship verification and the submission route
The American Burn Association operates a separate Verified Burn Fellowship Training Program; prior burn centre verification is required for a programme to apply. Its guidance tells applicants to confirm that a host accepts the ABA Common Application and where to submit it. Use the current official listing and institution instructions to establish the training term, accepted surgical background, licensing and financial support.
Common questions
Plan your next step
Is a burn fellowship mainly reconstructive surgery?
The balance varies. The ABA's description of a burn care fellow includes acute management, surgery, critical care, rehabilitation collaboration and research. Ask each host to show the timetable and responsibilities for its own post, especially if your priority is later reconstruction.
Does an ABA-verified burn centre automatically have a verified fellowship?
No. The ABA describes centre verification as a prerequisite for its separate fellowship verification process. Verify the fellowship itself in the current ABA programme listing rather than relying on the centre's status.
Does every burn fellowship use the ABA Common Application?
Do not assume that it does. The ABA explicitly asks applicants to confirm acceptance of the common form and the submission destination with the burn centre. Check programme-specific documents and the current intake before submitting.
