Background: The landscape of otolaryngology training in Saudi Arabia is undergoing transformation due to the expansion of medical colleges and increased overseas medical scholarships. However, concerns persist regarding the satisfaction and adequacy of surgical education. This study aims to assess gaps in otolaryngology training through an in-depth needs assessment. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 85 otolaryngology–head and neck surgery residency graduates in Saudi Arabia between 2019 and 2021. Participants completed a validated questionnaire assessing deficiencies, importance, and competence in different subspecialty areas. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, median comparisons, and Kruskal–Wallis tests. Results: Participants identified deficiencies in training across domains, with significant variations in specific subspecialties among different regions. Dissatisfaction with clinical discussions, research training, access to simulation labs, and training in emerging subspecialties was evident. Conclusion: The study highlights challenges within otolaryngology training, emphasizing the need for continuous evaluation and adaptation to ensure high-quality and comprehensive training. Addressing these gaps is essential to produce well-rounded otolaryngologists capable of meeting the evolving demands of modern healthcare.

Background Otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery (ENT) is a highly practical field, characterized by intricate anatomy and complex structures that necessitate precise equipment utilization for clear identification. Consequently, postgraduate students often grapple with apprehension due to the perceived difficulties, which dampens their enthusiasm for learning and adversely impacts their academic performance. Methods To address the challenges faced by postgraduate students in comprehending theoretical knowledge, honing skills, and fostering comprehensive development, we implemented a standardized and individualized teaching approach in ENT for 64 students over a span of three years (from September 2019 to August 2022). This initiative aimed to enhance students’ proficiency in theoretical knowledge and practical skills within the field. Results Over the past 3 years, the theoretical test scores of students undergoing training at the ENT professional base have shown significant improvement, with an average score increase of more than 10 points. In clinical settings, all students received standardized training in operational skills, comprehended critical nuances, and adeptly applied their knowledge, understanding not just how and why but also successfully translating theory into practice. Moreover, in the realm of scientific research, students have acquired essential skills in planning, executing research, and generating their unique ideas for routine research programs. Each student has authored at least one professional article, demonstrating a strong foundation for future project submissions and high-quality paper composition. Conclusions The teaching methodology combining standardization and individualization serves as a cornerstone for nurturing innovative and proficient medical professionals while significantly enhancing students’ comprehensive skill set and abilities.
