either one.

Search around for topics about "integrated" and "independent" plastics programs and you should start to get a pretty good idea about some of the options that can lead to plastics.

txmed is right. don't put the cart before the horse. getting into med school is competitive enough as it is--focus on that. and the only path to becoming a plastic surgeon is by graduating from med school.
