Plastic surgery requires extensive wide-ranging surgical knowledge, special technical dexterity, and personal skills in order to achieve improved quality of life and satisfying outcomes for patients. For decades, international plastic surgery fellowship programs have offered opportunities to enhance the subspecialty training of young plastic surgeons abroad and promote international exchange of information in the field of plastic surgery. However, concerns around enrolling in a nontraditional educational strategy at the postgraduate level have restricted young plastic surgery residents from pursuing comprehensive training opportunities overseas. Therefore, we present a personal experience of a distinct established international fellowship program in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery at Nippon Medical School Hospital, Japan, as an example. This institution has adopted the use of highly skilled surgical techniques, providing basic research education along with the teaching of essential personal skills needed in modern plastic surgery. As a mean to promote international educational collaboration in plastic surgery, we discussed the modern plastic surgery educational strategies worldwide that participate in developing a successful plastic surgeon's career.
整形手术需要广泛的外科知识、特殊的技术技巧和个人技能，以便为患者提高生活质量并取得令人满意的结果。几十年来，国际整形外科研修项目为国外年轻整形外科医生加强亚专业培训以及促进整形手术领域的国际信息交流提供了机会。然而，对研究生阶段采用非传统教育策略的担忧限制了年轻整形外科住院医师寻求海外全面培训的机会。因此，我们以日本日本医科大学附属医院一个独特的成熟国际整形、重建和美容外科研修项目的个人经历为例进行介绍。该机构采用了高技能的手术技术，在提供现代整形手术所需基本个人技能教学的同时，还提供基础研究教育。作为促进整形手术国际教育合作的一种方式，我们讨论了全球范围内参与培养成功整形外科医生职业生涯的现代整形手术教育策略。
