Background: In otolaryngology, surgical emergencies can occur at any time. An annual surgical training camp (or 'boot camp') offers junior residents from across North America the opportunity to learn and practice these skills in a safe environment. The goals of this study were to describe the set-up and execution of a simulation-based otolaryngology boot camp and to determine participants' confidence in performing routine and emergency oncall procedures in stressful situations before and after the boot camp.Methods: There were three main components of the boot camp: task trainers, simulations and an interactive panel discussion. Surveys were given to participants before and after the boot camp, and their confidence in performing the different tasks was assessed via multiple t-tests.Results: Participants comprised 22 residents from 12 different universities; 10 of these completed both boot camp surveys. Of the nine tasks, the residents reported a significant improvement in confidence levels for six, including surgical airway and orbital haematoma management.Conclusion: An otolaryngology boot camp gives residents the chance to learn and practice emergency skills before encountering the emergencies in everyday practice. Their confidence in multiple skillsets was significantly improved after the boot camp. Given the shift towards competency-based learning in medical training, this study has implications for all surgical and procedural specialties.

“…O'Leary et al assessed the validity of a virtual reality temporal bone simulator environment. 48 Participants were taught cortical mastoidectomy on the author's own networked virtual environment, then asked to perform the procedure on a cadaveric temporal bone. Networking allowed both the trainee and trainer to separately view the same virtual dissection whilst 'operating' in the same 'operating theatre'.…”

Review of temporal bone dissection teaching: how it was, is and will be

Objective: We aimed to review the history of anatomical dissection, and to examine how modern educational techniques will change the way temporal bone dissection is taught to otolaryngology trainees.Method: Review of the literature using Medline, Embase and PubMed database searches. Results: Temporal bone anatomy has traditionally been taught using cadaveric specimens. However, resources such as three-dimensional reconstructed models and 'virtual reality' temporal bone simulators have a place in educating the otolaryngology trainee.Conclusion: We should encourage the use of fresh frozen cadaveric temporal bone specimens for future otologists. Artificial three-dimensional models and virtual reality temporal bone simulators can be used to educate junior trainees, thus conserving the scarce resource of cadaveric bones.

“…These simulators offer unlimited dissection with different types of virtual drills and tools, based on virtual reality concepts and direct interaction mechanisms with users, such as force feedback. 19,20 Since the 1990s, computer software for temporal bone dissection has been developed and applied with relative success in medical residency program in many countries. 19,20 The more recent virtual simulators have been developed in the United States at Ohio University, and also in Germany.…”

Introducti on and Aims: Real models and virtual simulators have been used with positive results in several fields of medicine. These new devices can enhance teaching, learning and also training in Otolaryngology, reducing associated costs and potentially reducing medical errors. We reviewed the literature on the real and virtual models and simulators used for education and training in our medical specialty, discussing some of them and the results achieved with such instruments. Moreover, we also discuss the future perspectives in education and training in our medical specialty. Methods: Literature review. Conclusions: Otolaryngology, a clinical and surgical field of medicine, should be at the forefront of this technological revolution. In our specialty, real models and virtual simulators and environments have a great teaching and learning potential. With equipment costs dropping, thanks to technological development, these tools tend to become increasingly more popular.
