Where are all the burn surgeons? A survey of plastic surgical trainees in Australasia

Tim La H Brown et al. Burns. 2004 Sep.

Abstract

There is a world shortage of burn surgeons. A questionnaire survey of all plastic surgical trainees in Australasia was conducted at a recent training event. 10/48 trainees would consider burns as a major subspecialty interest. A good experience of burn care whilst training seems to be important in influencing trainees consider it as a career choice. The perception of a career as a burn surgeon is poor, and requires some urgent attention.
