To apply for the Integrated Residency Program, individuals can submit their applications through the Plastic Surgery Common Application (PSCA) sponsored by the American Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons (ACAPS). We highly recommend applicants take Step 2 early and make their scores available for their residency applications. Applications will be holistically and thoroughly reviewed, and interview invitations will be sent out on November 9th, 2023. In-person integrated interviews are held in early January each year. A reception is held the night before the interviews to provide interviewees an opportunity to interact with current residents and faculty members.
