Abstract

A significant number of plastic surgery trainees are exposed to transgender patient care, although exposure type is variable. The majority of trainees endorsed the importance of residency and fellowship training in gender-confirming surgery. To better serve the transgender population, formal fellowship training in gender-confirming surgery should be offered.
