    Abstract Introduction: Interest in international surgical missions has been rising exponentially, with the plastic surgery community being a leader in this endeavor. The role of residents in such missions remains a topic of debate. This systematic review aims to consolidate the literature relevant to the inclusion of plastic surgery residents on international surgical missions to devise an algorithm to facilitate resident participation.
    Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE was performed to identify studies relevant to plastic surgery resident involvement in the context of surgical missions. Relevant conclusions were retrieved from each study and compiled according to category.
    Results: Of 418 initial studies, 26 were retained for the qualitative synthesis. These were grouped into 3 categories: surveys (n=12), reflections (n=7), and reviews (n=7). The survey studies addressed the perceived value, educational impact, and long-term effect on participating residents. Three reflection studies were from the perspective of residents and 4 from staff, while all recounted the many benefits gained for participating residents. Review studies addressed the issue of accreditation and the ethics surrounding resident involvement.
    Conclusion: This systematic review highlights the overwhelming support from residents and staff, the highly regarded educational value, and the positive global health effects associated with plastic surgery resident participation in international surgical missions. The authors hope this will encourage and facilitate the implementation of formal opportunities for residents within residency training programs.

    Abstract Background: Scientific meetings provide much educational value to participants of all career stages. There is a paucity of literature surrounding the costs of attending scientific meetings and how this may affect participation, especially among trainees. The objective of this study is to assess the accessibility of surgical conferences for attendees by analyzing costs related to surgical society membership and conference registration.
    Methods: Societal membership and conference registration fee data were collected according to career stage (i.e., student, resident, fellow, and staff) for the fourteen surgical specialties recognized by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). Fees for participants from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and for virtual-only attendance options were also collected when available.
    Results: Overall, we included data from 46 surgical societies (32 North American, 14 European or global). The median conference fees for students in the member and non-member categories were 191.55 USD (IQR 42.22-320.99) and 452.40 USD (IQR 294.06-555.00), respectively, representing a 136.2% price increase if not a member. Median conference fees for residents, fellows, and staff in the member category were 65.5%, 66.9%, and 230.9% greater than that for students, respectively. Median prices for residents, fellows, and staff in the non-member category were 49.9%, 54.9%, and 49.9% greater than that for member trainees of the same category, respectively.
    Conclusions: Our results highlight the substantial costs associated with attending surgical conferences, especially for trainees, representing a significant barrier to already financially burdened trainees, especially those from LMICs, smaller institutions, or less well-off backgrounds.
