摘要

Background International travel had been radically disrupted by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), leaving traditional medical conferences on a 2-year hiatus. The International Craniofacial Chang Gung Group (ICC) was thus created to disseminate knowledge related to craniofacial surgery. This study aimed to reveal how webinars fundamentally transformed the traditional format of medical conferences. Materials and Method In total, 64 ICC webinars held between December 13, 2020, and May 21, 2023, were documented and reviewed. A questionnaire was designed and sent to ICC members. The questionnaire collected information on attitudes and habits relating to videoconferencing in general before and after the start of COVID-19 and on the ICC webinars specifically. Responses were analyzed to inform our understanding of respondents' experience and satisfaction with the webinars. Results The webinars covered a variety of topics related to craniofacial surgery. In total, 64 webinars were included for analysis. The mean number of attendees at each webinar was 86.7. In total, 111 respondents were more satisfied (4.25 ± 0.72 out of 5) with ICC webinars than with other media of online meetings (P < 0.001). In total, 89.2% of respondents were willing to continue attending ICC webinars after COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. Conclusions Webinars are an effective format for imparting knowledge, especially in the ICC, and will become key in continuing medical education.
