Program Director’s Message
We are very excited to welcome you to the Stony Brook University Plastic Surgery residency program! Our integrated plastic surgery training program is based on the tripartite of clinical experience, research and education aligning with the Department of Surgery's academic mission. Through education combined with outstanding clinical care and scientific discovery, the program aims to train professional, knowledgeable, outstanding, autonomous surgeons who become leaders in plastic surgery. To do so, our core faculty is committed to education and promotion of scientific inquiry for our residents.
Residents obtain both broad and in-depth exposure to the various surgical diseases embodying plastic surgery. Additionally, the training experience exposes residents to different teaching sites and faculty including academic practice and community-based practices encompassing all the forms of plastic surgery from cosmetic to reconstructive.
In addition to becoming competent plastic surgeons, we are committed to helping residents personally develop their interests and skills in a supportive and dynamic environment.

For the integrated residency program, residents are chosen out of medical school to enter the program. Successful completion of the six years of training provides eligibility for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The integrated residency program will accept one new resident per year for a total of six residents.
Our program is unique in its diversity of clinical experience. The first three years are concentrated at the Stony Brook University Hospital main campus where residents rotate through various services including plastic surgery. During the final three years, residents will broaden their plastic surgical experience to include time at New York Plastic Surgery Group (NYPSG), NuHealth, Northwell Health, NYU Winthrop Hospital and Mercy Medical Center, in addition to SBUH, Stony Brook Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Center and Stony Brook Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center.
