An Innovative Otolaryngology Resident Boot Camp

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Simulation provides the opportunity for residency programs to introduce core skills and principles to residents in a low risk environment. We designed a four-week "boot camp" for junior otolaryngology residents aimed at providing the foundation necessary for effective management of commonly encountered clinical scenarios. Sessions emphasized learning through adult and pediatric simulation exercises, technical skills training and didactics. Feedback on resident performance was provided at the completion of simulation exercises.
