Academic Program Rankings in PRS

[RedRocket88]

A paper just came out this month in PRS entitled "Influence of Training Institution on Academic Affiliation and Productivity among Plastic Surgery Faculty in the United States". Could this represent a ranking for academic plastics programs (at least via the metric of number of graduates in academic plastic surgery)?

Programs (including only US):
1. Harvard
2. NYU
3. Pittsburgh
4. Johns Hopkins
5. Michigan
6. UCLA
7. UPenn
8. USC
9. UCSF

They even have data for medical schools most commonly represented among academic plastic surgery faculty (including only US):
1. Harvard
2. Columbia
3. Michigan
4. Jefferson
4. Northwestern
6. NYU
7. Albany
7. Rochester
9. Johns Hopkins
9. UT Houston
9. Yale
12. UPenn
12. WUSTL
14. Emory
14. Georgetown
14. Louisiana State
14. Ohio State
14. Tufts
14. U of Illinois

Tables are attached. Discuss!

I'd guess because NYU is technically still "combined" until next year / this cycle. That list looks like it wouldn't classify NYU as integrated and therefore wasn't included in their list.
