PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

ROTATIONS & CALL SCHEDULE

Hand Surgery Rotation
Combined plastic surgery and orthopedic experience gives the hand surgery resident a broad perspective on surgery of the hand. Clinics are staffed by experienced orthopedic and plastic surgery trained hand surgeons. Residents see and treat common hand problems in addition to microvascular and flap reconstruction, brachial plexus injuries, and reconstruction for the paralyzed extremity including tendon and muscle transfer.

The hand resident is encouraged to attend any of the hand surgery practices in the community as well as the hand journal club and VA tetraplegia clinic and OR.

Community Plastic Surgery Rotation
An exceptional variety of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures is available with MCV and community based plastic surgeons. We have established working relationships with many of the community hospitals including Chippenham, Henrico Doctors, Johnston-Willis, Retreat and St. Mary's.

Exposure to smaller office based practices will offer the community resident valuable insight into office setup and office-based surgical procedures.

Call Schedule
Residents are on call approximately every fourth night and every fourth weekend.
