BurnsPlastics

Plastic surgery is a notoriously poorly taught field in medical school. New doctors confronted with pathologies related to the field are often left unprepared to safely deal with the patient in the appropriate manner. Furthermore, due to its wide breath, plastic surgery practice requires recollection of many equations, scoring systems, and guidelines making it hard to keep up to date with all areas of the field.
