Abstract
The plastic surgery residency pathway has undergone many changes since its inception. The advent of integrated training has largely taken over as the predominant residency model with the addition of a few new programs every year. There is currently a paucity of literature describing the experiences of first-year interns in a new integrated residency program transitioning from the independent model. In this article, we seek to elucidate some of the advantages and difficulties encountered by the initial residents of a newly established integrated program and the steps taken to pave the way for future matched integrated trainees.
