Joint Plastic Surgery-Hand Surgery (JPSHS) 5+1 Pathway

The Review Committee for Plastic Surgery will consider proposals from integrated plastic surgery programs for the joint plastic surgery-hand surgery (JPSHS) pathway. The JPSHS pathway is an accelerated track leading to American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certification in both plastic surgery and hand surgery. Proposals for an JPSHS pathway require approval by the Review Committee for Plastic Surgery before implementation.
