Delivering Academic Medicine in a Community Setting
Advances in medicine occur through research. However, before publishing
results in scientific journals, physicians must submit their discoveries for review by experts in the field to determine if
it is worthy. Those articles that appear in peer reviewed journals have met these strict criteria.
Few Plastic Surgeons author manuscripts in peer reviewed journals. Even fewer continue publishing
after completing their training. A very small number continue to author manuscripts in private practice without working
in an academic medical center.
