Special Features
Cleveland Clinic's Plastic Surgery Residency dates back to 1979. Since that time, we have graduated residents who have all gone on to successful careers in both the private and academic worlds. Among these numbers are both department chairs and program directors. As a result of our longevity and international reputation, we have contacts throughout the country, and abroad, all willing to help our new graduates establish their place in the plastic surgery world.
