Rules

The Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN) allows applicants to educational opportunities and programs to evaluate such programs in a comprehensive, broad way. Applicants can apply to as many programs as they prefer with the opportunity to match in each of them. These rules were prepared to ensure the integrity of the process. Violations may well result in loss of opportunity for both applicants and programs to collaborate. If one becomes aware of violations of these rules, they should be reported to the Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN). All reports regarding violations will be kept confidential. Violations of these rules by Program Directors or faculty may result in actions regarding participation in the Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN).

Rules For Program Directors

Binding Commitment

The participating programs agree to commit to the decisions made through Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN) with regards to acceptance or rejection of applications. Both parties are bound by the results of the Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN). However, an applicant’s actual entry into the training program (and continuation in it) is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the prerequisite training, any special requirements the program may have stated explicitly for all applicants and satisfactory performance during training.

  • I am solely responsible for the choices on my applications and for applications outcome resulting from those choices.
  • By submitting an application, both the applicants' choices and the program directors' choices make the result of this application a binding commitment. However, any offer made is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the prerequisite training as generally required and special requirements if specified by a particular training program.
  • If I obtain a position in this Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN), I will withdraw from all other matches in post-graduate medicine that compete and conflict with it.
  • I declare that I have no obligations which might prevent me from accepting a position if offered.
  • I authorize the Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN) the use of any information I have provided in any study approved by the Plastic Surgery Fellowship Network (PSFN), provided that no information clearly and uniquely identifying me is disclosed in reports resulting from such a study.
