Prior
to 1976, there were no full time plastic surgically trained
attending physicians at the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Bruce Cunningham became Chief of the
Division in 1984 and began plans to establish a residency
in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University
of Minnesota.
In 1991, provisional status was granted by
the Residency Review Committee and the first resident in
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of
Minnesota was accepted. Upon first review in 1993, the residency
was granted full approval by the Committee.
The program provides broad-based training in plastic surgery
and fully prepares the graduates for direct entry into either
private or academic practice, or placement into advanced
fellowship training.
