The aim of this report was to evaluate the Core Education Program (CEP) and to contribute to the establishment of some national standards for undergraduate ENT training programs in medical schools.
The documents of the national CEP for medical schools were reviewed. The lists under the titles of "Diseases-Condition-Symptoms," "Skills," and "Attitude and Behavior" were evaluated from the standpoint of ENT training.
Of 396 items listed under the domain of "Disease-Condition-Symptoms," 25 items were found to be related to ENT training. The essential skills to be achieved concerning ENT were ear, nose, throat, and neck examinations, ear lavage, nasal packing, and the Heimlich maneuver. Skills such as tuning fork tests, paracentesis, and measurement of noise were regarded as optional.
The aim of the CEP is to determine the necessary level of knowledge and skills for a general practitioner. It should be adopted by all disciplines of medical schools and incorporated into education programs. The ENT society, Association, and study groups of education should collect feedback from ENT departments and convey all this to the CEP Study Group, which convenes every four years to re-evaluate the CEP in the light of the feedback received and recent developments in medical sciences.
本报告旨在评估核心教育计划（CEP），并为制定医学院校本科耳鼻喉科培训计划的一些国家标准做出贡献。
对医学院校国家CEP的文件进行了审查。从耳鼻喉科培训的角度对“疾病-状况-症状”、“技能”以及“态度与行为”标题下的清单进行了评估。
在“疾病-状况-症状”领域列出的396项内容中，发现25项与耳鼻喉科培训相关。耳鼻喉科所需掌握的基本技能包括耳、鼻、喉及颈部检查、耳部灌洗、鼻腔填塞和海姆立克急救法。音叉试验、穿刺术和噪声测量等技能被视为可选项。
CEP的目的是确定全科医生所需的知识和技能水平。医学院校的所有学科都应采用该计划，并将其纳入教育项目。耳鼻喉科协会、学会和教育研究小组应收集耳鼻喉科部门的反馈意见，并将所有这些反馈传达给CEP研究小组，该小组每四年召开一次会议，根据收到的反馈意见和医学科学的最新发展重新评估CEP。
