SPECIAL ANNOUCEMENT

Due to unexpected delays in processing FCVS physician profiles, and with the holiday season fast approaching, SF Match has determined that we will accept an explanation letter in place of the FCVS physician profile in an attempt to faciliate the distribution of your CAS applications to the plastic surgery programs of your choice. Please include a detailed letter that includes an approximate date of when you expect the FVCS physician profile to arrive at our office. Explanation letters must be forwarded by hard copy to 655 Beach Street, San Francisco, CA 94109. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our office. ---12/18/07

Plastic Surgery Residency Match

The Plastic Surgery Residency Matching Program (PSMP) was established by the Association of Academic Chairmen of Plastic Surgery to coordinate appointments for Plastic Surgery Residency programs and to relieve the pressure on applicants and program directors resulting from early appointments and uncoordinated appointment dates. This match is for plastic surgery training after three or more years of general surgery experience.

Sponsorship

The Association of Academic Chairmen of Plastic Surgery sponsors the matching process and is responsible for enforcement at applicable rules. The Matching office does not sponsor or approve any of the participating programs. The function of the Matching Program is strictly limited to processing of the match. Listing or not listing of any program in the directory does not imply any form of approval, disapproval or endorsement. The decision to be listed or not rests solely with each individual Program Director.

About the Match

There is $50 non-refundable registration fee for the same. To participate in the match, simply complete our on-line registration form and submit your payment. Once registered, applicants will receive email confirmation and additional information on Matching procedures. There is a separate Central Application Service available for Plastic Surgery Residency applicants.
