Standardizing training and education in nonsurgical facial aesthetic procedures during residency training has long been challenging because majority of the procedures are performed outside the usual teaching hospital settings. Several areas of refinement have been suggested and an increased need for more hands-on training identified in the available literature. Despite the growing demand for nonsurgical facial aesthetics (NSFA), it is yet to be fully integrated into standard postgraduate medical or surgical curriculum.
The objective of this study was to explore the current state and the need for medical education and training of aesthetic clinicians across specialties in a formal postgraduate curriculum.
A mixed-method, cross-sectional, online research was conducted among physicians involved in training and practicing NSFA between July 2018 and December 2018. Focus group discussion was conducted to ensure the face and content validity of the survey items.
The total responses collected in the trainer's group was 179 and 496 in the trainee's group. The majority of trainers (95%) and trainees (93.8%) across specialties expressed their opinion for the need of a standard postgraduate course in NSFA. Moreover, more than 55% of them felt that 12 months, with a work-based, blended learning approach, would be most suitable for training and education.
The survey results have underlined the need for specialized training in NSFA to enable clinicians to pursue independent practice with confidence. The authors recommend the inclusion of evidence-based postgraduate programs on NSFA in higher academic institutions as per their educational curriculum.
在住院医师培训期间，规范非手术面部美容程序的培训和教育一直具有挑战性，因为大多数程序都是在常规教学医院环境之外进行的。现有文献中提出了几个改进领域，并确定了对手动培训的需求增加。尽管对面部非手术美容（NSFA）的需求不断增长，但它尚未完全纳入标准的研究生医学或外科课程。
本研究的目的是探讨在正式研究生课程中，跨专业的审美临床医生在医学教育和培训方面的现状和需求。
2018 年 7 月至 2018 年 12 月期间，对参与 NSFA 培训和实践的医生进行了混合方法、横断面、在线研究。进行焦点小组讨论，以确保调查项目的表面效度和内容效度。
培训师组共收集了 179 份答卷，学员组共收集了 496 份答卷。跨专业的大多数培训师（95%）和学员（93.8%）都认为需要开设一门 NSFA 标准研究生课程。此外，超过 55%的人认为 12 个月、基于工作的混合学习方法最适合培训和教育。
调查结果强调了需要对 NSFA 进行专门培训，以使临床医生能够自信地从事独立实践。作者建议根据高等教育机构的教育课程，在其中纳入关于 NSFA 的循证研究生课程。
