Welcome

The residency program in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Nassau University Medical Center is designed to provide a complete education in all aspects of plastic surgery within a two-year period. Our program prides itself on a solid foundation of plastic surgical principles and strict attention to detail. The resident's experience encompasses the full range of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery within a model designed to provide progressive independence.

Resident selection emphasizes creativity, maturity, diversity of prerequisite training, and accomplished scholarly activity. Our training provides a high volume and variety of plastic surgery, hand surgery, and burn reconstruction through working closely with 26 different attending surgeons in a combination of public and private settings. Residents are continually challenged and held accountable for a high standard of productivity. Resident interaction is encouraged in an atmosphere of collegiality and professionalism. The Nassau University Medical Center program has educated residents in plastic surgery successfully since 1954.

Our faculty and staff welcome your inquiries. We would be happy to discuss our program and put you directly in touch with our residents prior to your formal application, should that be of interest to you.

Sincerely yours,

Roger L. Simpson, MD, MBA, FACS
