The International Microsurgery Club (IMC) was created by Dr. Tommy Chang (Taiwan), with the webinar series filling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced knowledge gap and providing a platform for microsurgery masters to share knowledge.1 As of April 2023, IMC had more than 19,200 members worldwide.2 An IMC poll identified Professors Fu-Chan Wei and Joon-Pio Hong as the most influential teachers in microsurgery. This article summarizes the lessons from the “Dialogue with the Most Influential Teachers in Microsurgery” webinar on April 9, 2023, divided into technical, nontechnical, and life lesson sections.
