Research and innovation.
Research
We have a Director of Resident Research within the Section of Plastic Surgery. All residents are expected to prepare a research paper yearly for Residents' Day and are encouraged to submit papers for the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Annual Meeting of the American College of Surgeons - local chapter. Upon approval by the Section, funding for travel is available for PGY1-5's to present papers at meetings. The Department of Surgery employs a Biostatistical Analyst. An emphasis is placed on clinical trials research.
