UNIFIED INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

WHO IS CERTIFIED

Unified International Certification in Facial Plastic Surgery Diplomates
(UIC in FPS Diplomates)
The international certification process is aimed at setting similar standards of knowledge in the area of facial plastic surgery worldwide. The only established certification in the area of facial plastic surgery is that offered by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS). Specialists who have trained outside North America are not eligible for ABFPRS certification. Keeping this in mind, and with the support of the ABFPRS and the AAFPRS, a Unified International Certification Program in Facial Plastic Surgery was developed. Eligibility criteria were established following the standards of excellence established by the ABFPRS. Today, if international specialists fulfill the criteria, they may be eligible for the Unified International Certification Program sponsored by the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies (IFFPSS) and the national facial plastic surgery society in their country or geographic area.

To achieve international certification the surgeon must:

Have completed an approved residency program in otolaryngology/head-and neck surgery or plastic surgery.

Have earned prior certification by the National Examining Body in Otolaryngology/Head-and Neck Surgery or Plastic Surgery.

Have been in practice a minimum of two years.

Have 100 consecutive operative reports (in the area of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery) performed in a two-year period, accepted by a peer-review committee.

Successfully pass a two-day written and oral examination in the specialty.

Hold the appropriate licensure and adhere to the IFFPSS Code of Ethics.
