|
The Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Florida Department of Surgery was established in 1963. Since its inception, faculty and staff of the division have sought to fulfill the three components of the mission of the University of Florida College of Medicine: patient care of the highest order, education of students at many levels and research to advance the state of knowledge in plastic surgery. The division's faculty and staff provide the full range of plastic surgery services to patients who come from a wide geographical area. These services comprise both reconstructive surgery and aesthetic surgery. The division conducts a post-graduate residency program for surgeons who wish to become plastic surgeons. Past graduates of this program serve in both university and community practices. Members of the Division of Plastic Surgery pursue research interests, both basic laboratory research and clinical research. |
