With the increasing amount and complexity of medical information, medical schools are challenged with incorporating surgical subspecialty education, such as otolaryngology (OTO), into a time-limited curriculum.
To understand the state of OTO education in US medical schools and to generate a discussion of the role of surgical subspecialty education in the medical school curriculum.
Mail survey and follow-up letter and telephone survey conducted in 2000 to 2001.
Academic faculty at each of the 125 US medical schools.
Responses were obtained from all 122 OTO programs associated with the 125 US medical schools with Liaison Committee on Medical Education-accredited programs. One third (33.6%) of the schools have a required rotation in OTO in the clinical years, with others offering elective rotations; only 5.2% offered no exposure in the third year of medical school. Most schools offer some OTO in the first 2 years; 71.1% and 87.2% taught OTO in the first and second years, respectively, mostly in anatomy and physical diagnosis. In the fourth year, almost 68.9% of schools reported student participation in an OTO elective.
Most medical schools in the United States offer some teaching and clinical exposure to OTO, with considerable variability in the type of experience.
随着医学信息数量的增加和复杂性的提高，医学院面临着将外科亚专业教育，如耳鼻喉科（OTO），纳入限时课程的挑战。
了解美国医学院校耳鼻喉科教育的现状，并引发关于外科亚专业教育在医学院课程中作用的讨论。
2000年至2001年进行邮寄调查以及后续信件和电话调查。
美国125所医学院校的学术教员。
从与125所美国医学院校相关的122个耳鼻喉科项目中获得了回复，这些项目均为医学教育联络委员会认证的项目。三分之一（33.6%）的学校在临床年有必修的耳鼻喉科轮转，其他学校提供选修轮转；只有5.2%的学校在医学院第三年没有提供相关接触机会。大多数学校在前两年提供一些耳鼻喉科教学；分别有71.1%和87.2%的学校在第一年和第二年教授耳鼻喉科，主要是解剖学和物理诊断。在第四年，近68.9%的学校报告学生参与了耳鼻喉科选修课程。
美国大多数医学院校提供了一些耳鼻喉科教学和临床接触机会，经验类型存在很大差异。
