Microsurgery training in France

The Microsurgery began in France in 1972. Since the beginning of many training centers have been created, today we identify 19 places of education throughout the territory. Each training center organizes its own program so we will present here the experience of microsurgery teaching as it is carried out at the «Ecole de chirurgie de l’assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris». The microsurgery lab has 44 years experience in microsurgery education and the author has helped set up the programs and their organization and she has been involved in education for over 40 years.
