Abstract Objective: Applications of three‐dimensional (3D) printed models in medicine in‐
clude preprocedure planning, patient education, and clinical training. Reproducing
complex anatomy as a 3D printed model can be useful for understanding congenital
heart defects (CHD). We hypothesized that using 3D printed models during didactic
sessions with resident physicians will improve trainees’ understanding of CHD.
Design and intervention: We performed a prospective, randomized educational in‐
tervention for teaching pediatric and pediatric/emergency medicine residents about
simple (ventricular septal defect [VSD]) and moderately complex (tetralogy of Fallot
[ToF]) CHD. Residents were divided into two groups: intervention and control. Each
group completed a subjective… More >
