[The surgical portfolio: A new educational tool for the French plastic surgery residents?]
A recent reform of the French government has shortened the plastic surgery residency from 5 to 4 years. Until today, the evaluation and validation of the residency was shared between the local coordinator for practical skills and, after the residency, by the French College of Plastic Surgery for theorical knowledges. The new reform suggests to add a portfolio that will follow the resident during his surgical training. ⋯ As a first step we will describe the actual plastic surgery residency. Then, we will detail what the reform is going to change. At last, we will introduce the surgical portfolio, its content, its use and its goals.
