Abstract: Objective  To analyze the current situation and problems of continuing education for plastic surgery fellowships. Methods The data and information of plastic surgery fellowships from a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from 2019 to 2023 were collected and analyzed. Results In the past five years, a total of 546 fellowships have been trained in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai. The majority of training doctors were male, aged 31-40 years old, and most of them were the backbone of local business with intermediate titles. Bachelor's degree and master's degree were the main qualifications of fellowships, and most of them came from tertiary hospitals. Among them, less than half were major in plastic surgery, and the characteristic of interdisciplinary continuing education was obvious. Conclusion  Plastic surgery covers a wide range of fields, and the teaching and training of fellowships should pay attention to systematization and specialization to achieve highquality continuing education goals.
