Ibero-Latin American countries share a common background, similar cultures and historical experiences. Despite this, plastic surgery training presents striking differences among these countries. The aim of this survey-based study was to provide a general overview of plastic surgery training in this region. Results showed a great heterogeneity of training programs which confirms that plastic surgery education is very diverse in terms of requirements, programs content and duration, evaluations and certifying authorities. Standardization of these programs will surely improve the interaction between the different training centers, thus facilitating collaboration and academic exchange. Additionally, this will pave the way for the automatic recognition of degrees for those interested in working in other countries of the region.
伊比利亚-拉丁美洲国家拥有共同的背景、相似的文化和历史经验。尽管如此，这些国家的整形外科学培训仍存在显著差异。本基于调查的研究旨在对该地区的整形外科学培训提供总体概述。结果显示培训计划存在很大的异质性，这证实了整形外科学教育在要求、课程内容和持续时间、评估和认证机构方面非常多样化。这些课程的标准化肯定会促进不同培训中心之间的互动，从而促进合作和学术交流。此外，这将为那些有兴趣在该地区其他国家工作的人自动承认学位铺平道路。
