3. The study assigned points based on the first and last authors of the study, the institution and the level of evidence in the three journals.
4. “This study is the first that we are aware of to evaluate academic productivity of attending surgeons associated with adult reconstruction fellowships,” stated the authors.
“This is a really special recognition for our joint team and research department,” said Alexander R.
