Description:
The University of British Columbia Division of Plastic Surgery, in conjunction with Allergan Canada, offers a 6-month Breast Reconstruction Fellowship.
This advanced training program is 6 months in duration and provides a large volume experience in immediate and delayed alloplastic and autologous breast reconstruction.

Requirements:
Successful completion of a Royal College or American Board certified Plastic Surgery program or equivalent.
Successful completion of the TOEFL exam if language of instruction and practice during medical school and residency was not in English. A passing grade must be obtained prior to submission of the fellowship application.
