Purpose of the Study:

  • To present virtual surgical simulators for cleft repair and craniofacial surgery.
  • To explore strategies for developing and maintaining digital surgical education resources.
  • To emphasize the need for evaluating digital resources for trainee benefit.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two virtual surgical simulators for procedural cognition.
  • Description of collaborative strategies involving educators, industry, and philanthropy.
  • Call for evaluation of digital resources in partnership with educational societies.

Main Results:

  • Virtual simulators developed for cleft repair and craniofacial surgery procedural cognition.
  • Partnership models identified as successful for resource development and maintenance.
  • Need for demonstrating utility of digital resources for trainee knowledge and skills.

Conclusions:

  • Digital educational resources and virtual simulators offer a promising future for plastic surgery training.
  • Collaborative partnerships are essential for creating and sustaining relevant digital tools.
  • Systematic evaluation is required to guide trainees and practitioners to effective digital content.
