OBJECTIVE: To identify the status of surgical dermatology education among residents and assess dermatologists\' perceptions of the subject.
METHODS: A 35-question survey was developed and distributed to all resident training hospitals and local clinics listed by the Korean Society of Dermatologic Surgery. Only third- and fourth-year residents were included and board-certified specialists from training hospitals and local clinics responded to the surveys.
RESULTS: Survey participants included 88 residents and 120 specialists of whom one-quarter of the residents attended regular monthly educational sessions. Most residents (93%) participated in cosmetic procedures, and many performed laser therapy. However, the opportunity for toxin or filler injection was rare, with only 12% of the residents having experience with filler injections. In response, 49% of residents and 32% of specialists said that more cosmetic training was required, whereas 28% of residents and 50% of specialists said that more training for both cosmetic and conventional surgeries was necessary.
CONCLUSIONS: The survey demonstrated a need for more training programs in surgical dermatology during residency and a perception gap between residents and specialists. Therefore, developing educational residency programs that focus on basic dermatologic surgery principles and their applications in cosmetic procedures is essential.
目的:确定居民中外科皮肤科教育的状况,并评估皮肤科医生对该主题的看法。
方法:制定了一项35个问题的调查,并分发给韩国皮肤外科学会列出的所有住院医师培训医院和当地诊所。仅包括第三年和第四年的居民,来自培训医院和当地诊所的董事会认证专家对调查做出了回应。
结果:调查参与者包括88名居民和120名专家,其中四分之一的居民每月定期参加教育课程。大多数居民(93%)参加了整容手术,许多人进行了激光治疗。然而,注射毒素或填充剂的机会很少,只有12%的居民有注射填充剂的经验。作为回应,49%的居民和32%的专家表示,需要更多的美容培训,而28%的居民和50%的专家表示,需要对美容和常规手术进行更多的培训。
结论:调查表明,在住院医师期间需要更多的外科皮肤病学培训计划,并且住院医师和专科医生之间存在认知差距。因此,开发教育住院医师计划,侧重于基本的皮肤病学手术原则及其在整容手术中的应用是至关重要的。
