With surgical trainees now receiving reduced operating experience it is more important than ever for them to practise their surgical skills outside the operating theatre environment.
At our institution, ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery is taught to fourth- and final-year medical students in a four-week long special senses module. This module is a joint ENT and ophthalmology placement. It is structured as an introductory week of lectures and practical sessions followed by a three-week period spent in ENT and ophthalmology clinics and theatres.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
