Past Residents
George N. Washington, MD
“If I had to do the MATCH process all over again, UTHealth Houston would continue be my top choice for plastic & reconstructive surgery training. This program provides a unique opportunity to train at one of, if not, the busiest level 1 trauma center in the nation. The Attendings truly value resident education and make resident training their top priority; importantly, they genuinely care about resident well-being and stress the importance of work-life balance. The camaraderie is heart-warming and unmatched. Trainees complete this program with the knowledge and surgical skills necessary to confidently practice independently.”
Paul Deramo, MD
“UTHealth Houston was my #1 choice for residency because of its record for producing the best trained technical surgeons. The busiest Level 1 trauma center in the country provided an unmatched volume and complexity of cases. Rotations at MD Anderson and with private practice microsurgeons in Houston equipped me for a breadth of microsurgery. I spent several months with renowned cosmetic plastic surgeons to hone aesthetic surgical skills. The faculty expected a high level of autonomy which confidently prepared me for independent practice. Ultimately, the well-rounded clinical exposure (one of the strongest operative experiences of any residency), unlimited research opportunities at the Texas Medical Center, and supportive trainees/faculty make this a truly unique training program and I am honored to have trained here.”
