tips to write a personal statement to apply to plastic surgery residency

Dear plastichelp:

Thank you for your question. There are many guides to writing a
personal statement for a residency, but none are tailor made for
plastic surgeons. That said, the guides that are available do make
themselves as general as possible, so you could make excellent use of
these resources.

Eastern Virginia Medical School has an excellent, detailed step by
step guide on how to write a personal statement, complete with tips on
revisions and other strategies:

ScutWork.com has a list of tips with detailed information on how to
apply them to your own essay. That is available here:

The American Academy of Family Physicians also has a shorter
introduction to Personal Statements with some good tips as well:
