The Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA) is one of Argentina's leading healthcare institutions, with an integrated healthcare network of multiple facilities and a university offering comprehensive medical training. Founded in 1854, it has become one of the leading academic medical centers in Latin America. The Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery founded in 1960, offers a comprehensive residency and fellowship program under the direction of Professor Horacio F. Mayer. With a robust annual caseload of over 1000 surgeries, including complex reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, the department trains residents in a comprehensive curriculum that includes surgical skills, patient care, and research. The three-year structure of the residency program includes progressive responsibilities, rotations in multiple specialties, and hands-on experience with highly complex cases. Residents participate in internal and external education guided by a rigorous evaluation system and multidisciplinary collaboration. The Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery Fellowship continues to refine advanced reconstructive techniques. By promoting research, HIBA's Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Program not only meets international standards, but also contributes significantly to the advancement of the field, preparing its graduates for leadership roles nationally and internationally.
