“…A drawback of this systematic review is that 12/15 of the studies 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 19 20 were deemed to have a high risk of bias. This is because two were letters to the editor, 19 20 with no cross-sectional study performed and were thus viewed as being highly opinionated.…”

“…This is because two were letters to the editor, 19 20 with no cross-sectional study performed and were thus viewed as being highly opinionated. Most of the cross-sectional studies, 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 apart from the study by Wade et al, 17 were also deemed as being at high risk of bias: this is because they all had small sample sizes and the data analysis was done with no blinding or control; for example, the organizers of the intervention (such as a plastic surgery teaching course) did the data analysis. The cross-sectional study by Wade et al 17 was deemed as being at low risk of bias as it was a nationwide study with a large sample size.…”

Background There are varying reports about United Kingdom medical students' exposure and teaching methods regarding plastic and reconstructive surgery. To date, no systematic review has been done looking at this topic. Methods Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Medline) were searched from January 1, 2011 to July 20, 2023 for studies that assessed United Kingdom medical students' exposure to plastic surgery and suggested recommendations to improve teaching. Three authors performed data extraction and screening, as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results Fifteen studies were included. Medical students' average current exposure to plastic surgery was 29.44%, but this was highly variable across the studies. The most common method of currently teaching plastic surgery was through lectures (34% of studies), and the most common suggested method of teaching was through courses (40% of studies). Many of the studies (12/15) were deemed as being at high risk of bias. Conclusion More recent studies need to be performed to assess current levels of teaching of plastic surgery in the United Kingdom medical school curriculum. Greater exposure to plastic surgery through lectures and integrated clinical placements is needed to ensure equitable access for all medical students to plastic surgery as a profession.
