چکیده
INTRODUCTION: The evaluation and management of emergency department (ED) consults is an essential competency in plastic surgery residency. Trainees usually perform these duties under indirect attending supervision. However, no formal curriculum exists to prepare trainees for the requirements of on-call coverage and there is minimal literature on the frequency and nature of ED consults requiring plastic surgery evaluation. The purpose of this study is to determine the most common consults and procedures necessitating ED plastic surgery management in an effort to prepare trainees, prior to on-call coverage, in the core diagnostic and procedural skills required in the ED.
