Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Pelvic fistulas affect a significant number of patients globally, with a relatively low prevalence in the United States. Virtual education offers an effective, scalable solution to bridge this educational gap and lead to a deeper understanding of more common conditions, such as urinary and fecal incontinence.
UNASSIGNED: We developed two virtual cases on rectovaginal and vesicovaginal/ureterovaginal fistulas to enhance medical students\' exposure, knowledge, and confidence regarding assessment of pelvic fistulas. The cases could be completed in approximately 30 minutes, asynchronously, and at students\' own pace. The cases were integrated into an OB/GYN clerkship. We conducted a survey among students receiving the cases to gather feedback on usability, acceptability, and educational value, which guided subsequent improvements.
UNASSIGNED: Forty medical students, ranging from first to third year, participated in the urogynecology elective; 21 (53%) completed the survey. Ninety-one percent agreed or strongly agreed they were satisfied with the cases. All respondents found the format easy to use and appropriate for their level of learning. Most reported the cases improved their confidence in nonsurgical and surgical management options for pelvic fistulas.
UNASSIGNED: Offering virtual and interactive patient cases on e-learning platforms represents an innovative approach to increasing clinical exposure to urogynecologic disorders. By providing medical students with the opportunity to interact with pelvic fistulas virtually, these cases can help bridge a gap in clinical education. Future exploration is valuable for examining knowledge deficiencies and developing cost-effective, self-paced, easily accessible educational resources to advance medical training and optimize patient care.

摘要：
■骨盆瘘影响全球大量患者，在美国患病率相对较低。虚拟教育提供了一种有效的,可扩展的解决方案，以弥合这种教育差距，并导致对更常见条件的更深入的了解，如尿失禁和大便失禁。
■我们开发了两个关于直肠阴道和膀胱阴道/输尿管阴道瘘的虚拟病例，以增强医学生的暴露，知识,以及对骨盆瘘评估的信心。案件可以在大约30分钟内完成，异步,和学生自己的节奏。这些病例被纳入妇产科医师的工作。我们在接收案例的学生中进行了一项调查，以收集有关可用性的反馈，可接受性,和教育价值，这指导了后续的改进。
■40名医学生,从第一年到第三年，参加了泌尿系妇科选修课；21人（53％）完成了调查。百分之九十一的人同意或强烈同意他们对案件感到满意。所有受访者都发现该格式易于使用，适合他们的学习水平。大多数报告的病例提高了他们对骨盆瘘的非手术和手术治疗选择的信心。
在电子学习平台上提供虚拟和交互式患者病例代表了一种创新方法，可以增加临床上对泌尿系妇科疾病的暴露。通过为医学生提供与骨盆瘘虚拟互动的机会，这些病例可以帮助弥合临床教育的差距。未来的探索对于检查知识缺陷和开发成本效益很有价值，自定进度,容易获得的教育资源，以推进医疗培训和优化患者护理。
