Conclusions: Although more plastic surgeons enter the field through a shortened integrated residency, the increasing demand for further subspecialization may cause significant challenges for upcoming graduates pursuing an academic appointment. Undergoing additional training considerably impacts social and financial decision-making early in surgical careers for newly graduated residents. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

Methods: PRS faculty at U.S. academic institutions associated with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons were identified. Outcomes studied included integrated versus independent training, fellowships, gender, academic title, years on faculty, and publications before current hire.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) academic positions are more coveted each year. We aim to determine the requirement of fellowship training before PRS academic appointments.
Results: Of the 1052 PRS faculty identified, 646 were included across 41 states and the District of Columbia. Seventy-four percent were identified as men (n = 477), and 26.2% (n = 169) identified as women. Academic faculty were significantly more likely to have completed fellowship before hire than not (p<0.0001). An integrated route of training was associated with higher odds of fellowship completion before appointment (OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.49-3.22). Odds of fellowship completion was significantly greater among faculty who graduated 5-10 years ago (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.48-4.41) and within the last 5 years (OR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.18-3.17). Professors were less likely to have completed fellowship training before appointment compared with assistant professors (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.33-0.80). Regarding gender, number of prior publications, or completion of another degree, no significant difference was found between fellowship- and non-fellowship-trained faculty.
