Having the privilege of pointing out the way
to teach Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Jalisco Plastic &
Reconstructive Surgery Institute at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico,
my great concern has been to get a balance in practising and teaching both
Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. In many Plastic Surgery
Training Services the residents received instruction and practice in
Reconstructive Surgery, and when the new Plastic Surgeon start to practice
in private offices developed several bad results and complications. In my
early practice I had this situation. For this reason in my service we have a
program for a three-year period of full training in both areas. To start
training in our unit it is mandatory that the resident have a full training
in general surgery previously.
