“…An acute condition or examination skill was mentioned in the majority of curricula. This is in-keeping with previous studies which have highlighted these as important (17)(18)(19). Examination skills were covered by most schools but there was a large degree of variability in the skills taught.…”

“…It is of interest however that only two thirds specifically mentioned history taking. Lloyd et al conducted a Delphi study in which doctors rated ENT history taking as extremely important (17). An acute condition or examination skill was mentioned in the majority of curricula.…”

“…Four of the Otolaryngology curricula received specifically mention GMC Outcomes. Utilising their Delphi study, Lloyd et al have recently produced a curriculum outlining learning objectives relating to undergraduate Otolaryngology (17). Following this current curriculum evaluation, further work is underway to explore what medical students should learn about Otolaryngology.…”

ObjectiveTo compare undergraduate otolaryngology curricula in the United Kingdom. To develop a tool which would allow undergraduate specialty curricula to be compared.DesignDevelopment of a curriculum evaluation framework (CEF) and survey.SettingUK medical schools.ParticipantsOtolaryngology curricula were requested from all 32 UK medical schools who award a primary medical qualification. Nineteen curricula were received and examined.Main outcome measuresThematic and content analysis of curriculum documents were undertaken. Outcome measures include an examination of curriculum content and methods, type of assessment and alignment of curricula with the General Medical Council's Tomorrow's Doctors document.ResultsLearning objectives were listed by 18 of the 19 medical schools who responded. The most commonly included theme was clinical conditions (100%). Psychosocial aspects of otolaryngology was the least covered theme (37%). Examination skills was covered by the majority (74%). Outpatient clinics and theatre attendance were the most commonly utilised teaching methods (47%). Student checklists were the most common form of assessment (32%). Only four medical schools linked their curricula to the GMC's Tomorrow's Doctors document.ConclusionsThe development of a CEF allowed for a systematic comparison of curricula. This study, evaluating otolaryngology curricula, has highlighted the variability of curricula from both a content and methods perspective in the UK. The study provides those involved with curriculum planning an overview of the main themes currently taught in the UK and offers examples of individual topics. It also offers an insight into the way in which otolaryngology is taught in the UK.

“…For example, "common conditions seen outside of ENT" was rated low, and it may have also been expected that "practical aspects", "epistaxis" and "sleep apnoea" would rate higher given that they are common/important. Certainly these categories scored well in Lloyd et al's Delphi review 13 . However, as our work and the Delphi review have starkly differing methodologies, a direct comparison should be made cautiously.…”

Objective:Knowledge of ENT is important for many doctors, but undergraduate time is limited. This study aimed to identify what is thought about ENT knowledge amongst non-ENT doctors, and the key topics that the curriculum should focus on.Methods:Doctors were interviewed about their views of ENT knowledge amongst non-ENT doctors, and asked to identify key topics. These topics were then used to devise a questionnaire, which was distributed to multiple stakeholders in order to identify the key topics.Results:ENT knowledge was generally thought to be poor amongst doctors, and it was recommended that undergraduate ENT topics be kept simple. The highest rated topics were: clinical examination; when to refer; acute otitis media; common emergencies; tonsillitis and quinsy; management of ENT problems by non-ENT doctors; stridor and stertor; otitis externa; and otitis media with effusion.Conclusion:This study identified a number of key ENT topics, and will help to inform future development of ENT curricula.

The consultation volume of an otolaryngology-head and neck surgery service requires significant time and resources. Consultations are most often for rhinologic or laryngologic issues and are reflective of the clinical setting in which the patient is evaluated. Cost savings may be realized by increasing health care access points for nonurgent concerns that can be evaluated in an outpatient setting.
