Board standards include:
- Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
- Complete at least six years of surgical training following medical school with a minimum of three years of Plastic Surgery residency training.
- Pass comprehensive oral and written exams.
- Graduate from an accredited medical school.
- Continual competition of medical education, including patient safety, each year.
- Perform surgery in accredited, state-licensed, or Medicare-certified, surgical facilities.
