Post general surgery residency, plastc surgery is now the most competitive sub-specialty.

To make matters worst, they will be making the plastic surgery fellowship into a 3 year mandatory training starting in 2010. The match rate used to be 65% a decade ago, but the match rate currently is around 35%. There were around 265 applicants for 93 spots in 2007. Moreover, the applicants nowadays are extremely competitive. Not only they take into account your grades and USMLE scores, they also take into account your ABSITE (surgery in-service exam) scores. Some of the previous applicants had multiple fellowships, such as in burn, hand or craniofacial surgery. Plastic surgery is now more competitive than getting in to the pediatric surgery fellowships.
