Training of Plastic Surgery Residents in Latin America: A Scoping Review of Current Practices and Gaps Relative to Competency-Based Education

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Protocol of a scoping review that will map how plastic surgery residents are trained and assessed in Latin America and identify gaps relative to competency-based medical education (CBME). The review follows the JBI methodology and will be reported according to PRISMA-ScR. Searches will be run in November 2026 in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, ERIC, and grey literature (documents published since January 2016 in English, Spanish, or Portuguese). Expected results: a country-level map of program organization, expected competencies, assessment methods, and surgical exposure, and a gap matrix against the five core components of CBME.
