Simulation in Otolaryngology

At present, simulation is widely accepted as a means of providing surgical education outside of the clinical environment. Recent advances in simulation technology and medical education reform coupled with political and societal demands have provided the impetus toward the exponential growth of this field. Research in this area supports the use of simulation to train and assess individuals in both psychomotor and team-based skills. Further benefits include translation of these improved skills to patient care practices with better patient outcomes and reduced health care costs.
