MedStar Georgetown Plastic Surgery Residency Program is an integrated training program that has four categorical positions within a six-year program.
Note: All qualified applicants are considered for interviews. However, the volume of applicants precludes us from offering interviews to all who apply.

Interviews
Candidates who have been selected to interview will be notified via email correspondence. All candidates are interviewed in person. During the interview day, each candidate will have the opportunity to interview with members of the faculty as well as the Chairman.
The interview day provides not only an opportunity for our faculty to meet the applicants, but also provides a venue for applicants to gain information about our program. We, therefore, provide opportunities throughout the interview day for the applicants to speak to current residents and view our facilities in a tour.
The night before each interview, we host a dinner at a popular Georgetown restaurant with the Department faculty and house staff present. This gives the applicant an opportunity to meet the faculty in a less formal setting.
Please be aware, all correspondence will be conducted through email.
