The six-year Integrated Residency Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center offers a comprehensive and carefully crafted curriculum, designed to provide learners with a thorough exploration of all facets of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Candidates accepted into the Integrated Program can expect to receive comprehensive education and training as required by the RRC.
