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.
