Education

Dr. Julian Pribaz is the Program Director for the ACGME accredited Harvard Plastic Surgery Training Program. This program is the result of the merger of three formerly separate two-year residency programs at Harvard affiliated teaching hospitals based at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. The three Harvard programs merged to provide a more enriching educational environment in which we are able to enhance the strengths of each of the individual programs.

Dr. Dennis Orgill is the Assistant Program Director  for the Harvard Plastic Surgery Training Program.  He is an Associate Chief and  Burn Director in the Division of Plastic Surgery.  Dr. Orgill also has an active Tissue Engineering and Wound Healing Lab.

Residents now rotate among five of Boston's finest teaching hospitals: Beth Isreal Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Burns Institute at Boston Shriners Hospital for Children. The rotations will include all aspects of the expanding field of plastic surgery. Emphasis has been placed on direct resident contact with nationally and internationally respected experts in addition to hands-on independent operating experience.

The five combined teaching hospitals have over 2,400 beds and approximately 8,000 resident plastic surgery cases per year. The case mix includes such areas as aesthetic surgery, breast, craniofacial reconstruction, cleft lip and palate, hand and other upper and lower extremity, oncological reconstruction of head, neck and extremities, microsurgery and burn reconstruction, with opportunities for both adult and pediatric surgery.
