Plastic Surgery Rotations: Rotation assignments offer a wide span of clinical and operative exposure. During a typical rotation, each fellow assumes increasing responsibility for preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative patient care. The outpatient clinic is an integral part of surgical education. Fellows will see patients in the Presbyterian Physician Office Building (PPOB), OU Health Physicians Plastic Surgery Clinic and OU Health Children’s Physicians Plastic Surgery Clinic.

All rotations take place in the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area at the following locations:

  • OU Health University of Oklahoma Medical Center - Adult Tower (Level One Trauma Center & Main Adult Hospital)
  • Oklahoma Children’s Hospital OU Health - Children's Hospital and Physician Tower
  • Lakeside Women’s Hospital - NW Oklahoma City
  • Summit Surgery Center

During Plastic Surgery rotations, residents gain hands-on experience with an average of 2,000 cases over three years of their surgical training. Our favorable faculty-to-resident ratio ensures extensive one-on-one teaching, providing residents with personalized guidance and mentorship throughout their training.

Plastic Surgery Fellowship Curriculum: Weekly conferences are a cornerstone of the Plastic Surgery educational experience at OU, fostering a collaborative learning environment for fellows and residents on rotation. Every Friday morning, residents have dedicated time to participate in faculty-led lectures, and engage in Indications or M&M conferences. Monthly Journal Club sessions further support scholarly discussion and learning, while mock oral board exams, held twice yearly by our Plastic Surgery faculty, help prepare residents for board certification with confidence.
