Course Review: Lessons Learned by MY Plastic Surgery Course 2022

Abstract

Plastic surgery is a surgical speciality, which typically receives little attention during medical school. Students and newly qualified doctors may therefore wish to develop skills and knowledge within the field of plastic surgery to mitigate a lack of undergraduate exposure. The MY Plastic Surgery Course–Essential Plastic Surgery Skills for Junior Doctors is a course aimed at this cohort; it is a 2-day course based in Yorkshire, organized by plastic surgeons, and covers a broad range of foundational skills in plastic surgery. We present an outline and assessment of the 2022 course, as well as discussing the extent to which it has improved and developed on feedback published in 2021. Overall, the authors found that this course was an excellent introduction to plastic surgery, and we recommend it to medical professionals interested in this surgical speciality.
