“…Medical simulation offers residents and other trainees the opportunity to learn procedural skills in a controlled environment without serious risk to the patient. [5,[6][7][8][9][10][11]16] Simulation can be utilized to develop appropriate knowledge, enhance skills and self-confidence, and gain surgical fluency. 3 While duty hour restrictions have decreased the time period in which a resident can learn procedural and surgical skills, there has been a stronger push for the implementation of an educational environment that can offer the technical skills training outside of the traditional Operating Room education.…”

While otolaryngology (ORL) bootcamps are being increasingly utilized for resident education, many simulators are prohibitively expensive or complicated to construct. We constructed and validated a novel low cost and low fidelity endoscopic sinus surgery skills trainer (ESSST). After construction, participants were divided into 3 groups based on endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) experience. The study participants were asked to perform 3 tasks. Their performance was videotaped and subsequently blindly evaluated by two rhinologists. Each task was scored based on performance and economy of motion using a standard scoring sheet. A one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Tukey Tests were used to determine if there was a significant difference in performance of the 3 groups. The data suggests that skill and experience with ESS directly translates to the simulator, supporting that the ESSST is low cost, validated, renewable and a useful adjunct to higher fidelity simulators.
