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.
Match the reconstructive focus
Ask about the balance of breast, extremity, head and neck, and lymphatic work. A broad free-flap service and a placement devoted to one anatomical area can offer very different learning opportunities.
Separate the three training routes
Compare a clinical appointment with operative duties, an observership built around watching and discussion, and a laboratory or outcomes research post. A microsurgery course may strengthen technical preparation without providing a clinical fellowship appointment.
Ask what the fellow actually does
Request the individual fellow's expected responsibilities in planning, dissection, anastomosis, monitoring and follow-up. Service-wide case totals do not establish your operative role, case allocation or progression.
Check the application route and training prerequisites
Michigan's microsurgery fellowship requires completion of accredited plastic surgery training in the US or Canada and uses SF Match. USC also directs microsurgery applicants to SF Match and describes a stipend with benefits. These are programme-specific examples: participation in the same application system does not establish identical eligibility or financial terms. For other countries and visiting routes, follow the institution's own instructions.
Common questions
Plan your next step
How long is a microsurgery fellowship?
The Michigan and USC programmes cited here describe one-year appointments. That is not a duration rule for all microsurgery training. Compare each profile's term, clinical or observational pathway and actual timetable; a short visiting placement has different objectives from a year-long clinical appointment.
Can an international surgeon apply for a microsurgery fellowship?
Check the accepted specialty training and registration route for each post. Michigan's published requirement specifies accredited US or Canadian plastic surgery training. An international observership or research placement may have different conditions. Do not infer clinical eligibility from a department's willingness to receive visitors.
Does microsurgery training always include breast reconstruction?
Ask the programme to confirm the current case mix and your role. USC describes several reconstructive areas, including breast and extremity work, but another placement may concentrate on a narrower service. Choose on the documented curriculum and supervised experience rather than the title alone.
