This book offers a comprehensive curriculum on plastic surgery, centered on adult learning principles. The pedagogical structure includes a base of cognitive knowledge that consists of the entire spectrum of plastic surgery; reconstructive and aesthetic; a guide for an interactive discussion of each component of the knowledge base; a set of multiple-choice questions with a syllabus of explanation of correct and incorrect responses; and clinical cases to illustrate each element. Over one hundred modules constitute the curriculum, all of which are grouped into thirteen general categories. Each module includes a selected bibliography of relevant and contemporary readings, a discussion guide of broad questions and answers for a faculty member to drive an interactive discussion of the module, a set of multiple-choice questions for each module to serve as a short written quiz, and 1-3 cases that are utilized in a case-base conference to discuss the practical application of cognitive knowledge to problem-solving of a clinical scenario. Finally, a several-page review of the particular case provides an optimal approach to diagnosis and treatment. A Curriculum for Plastic Surgery provides an encyclopedic yet facile vehicle to deliver a comprehensive, contemporary, and interactive curriculum. The curriculum reflects the author’s four decade long career in academic practice and teaching within this field.
This book systematically presents a collection of entities, syndromes, and diseases that are diagnosed and treated by plastic surgeons, hand surgeons, otolaryngologists, oral surgeons, and dermatologists. The goal is to document an extensive array of signs and visual clues that are critical to the diagnostic process, thereby enhancing the clinician’s ability to identify relevant diagnostic features and make correct diagnoses. Skill in recognizing deformities and disease processes by observation is of vital importance in plastic surgery, which is very much a visual surgical specialty. In drawing together key diagnostic signs, this book will spare readers the onerous task of searching through endless resources, books, and websites. A helpful appendix details the various classification systems used in the book with the aid of appropriate diagrams. Clinical Diagnosis in Plastic Surgery is intended for students, residents, practicing physicians, and surgeons in all of the affiliated fields of plastic surgery.
