International Session 6 Pharynx/Larynx
Background: Pre-graduate clinical training is vital for medical students, offering essential patient interaction and professional exposure.Standardized assessments stress the need for supervised practice and simulation training.Our department sees this training as a way to build knowledge and attract medical students, focusing on "hands-on" clinical experiences enriched by relevant procedures.We recently conducted a questionnaire to assess the training's effectiveness and potential future developments.Methods: From December 2022 to December 2024, we surveyed students in our clinical training, evaluating overall experience and the curriculum components.Results: 176 students participated, giving a satisfaction score of 4 9 out of 5. "Electrosurgical practice using simulated organs" received the highest rating, followed by "virtual reality training for surgical anatomy" and "knot tying and suturing training."Discussion: The training garnered positive feedback, underscoring the effectiveness of our methodologies.These results guide enhancements to training content and inspire interest in otolaryngology, facilitating improved medical education for future professionals.
