AI Avatar-Delivered Ear Nose Throat (ENT) Induction: A Pilot Feasibility Study of Confidence and Acceptability

An AI avatar-delivered ENT induction course significantly improved self-reported confidence and was broadly acceptable, though not universally preferred. Most trainees perceived little difference in learning or retention compared with traditional teaching. These findings support AI avatars as a feasible adjunct for induction training, warranting further evaluation with larger, standardised cohorts and objective outcomes.
