Plastic Surgery Resident Support

Your gift supports Plastic Surgery's efforts in training and educating their plastic surgery residents.

The mission of the SIU Plastic Surgery Residency Program is to provide the education and training for graduates to practice plastic surgery at the highest levels of quality and safety by allowing for the acquisition of knowledge, surgical skill, and research experience with appropriate mentorship and support from the faculty and the institution. The program works to promote a culture of excellence, respect, and compassion while serving the central and southern parts of the State of Illinois, including under-served rural populations.

SIU’s Institute for Plastic Surgery is an integrated plastic surgery training program that is designed to give residents a diverse experience in plastic surgery and its subspecialty areas. Plastic surgeons combine the use of key surgical principles with creativity to solve problems. Here at SIU, the Plastic Surgery team performs a broad range of procedures from head to toe including both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
