OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To determine the effectiveness of using of an otoscopy stimulator to teach medical students the primary principles of otoscopy in large group training sessions and improve their confidence in making otologic diagnoses.
Cross-sectional survey design.
In March 2013, the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery held a large-scale otoscopy simulator teaching session at the MaRS Innovation Center for 92 first and second year University of Toronto medical students. Following the training session, students were provided with an optional electronic, nine-question survey related to their experience with learning otoscopy using the simulators alone, and in comparison to traditional methods of teaching.
Thirty-four medical students completed the survey. Ninety-one percent of the respondents indicated that the overall quality of the event was either very good or excellent. A total of 71% of respondents either agreed, or strongly agreed, that the otoscopy simulator training session improved their confidence in diagnosing pathologies of the ear. The majority (70%) of students indicated that the training session had stimulated their interest in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery as a medical specialty.
Organizing large-group otoscopy simulator training sessions is one method whereby students can become familiar with a wide variety of pathologies of the ear and improve both their diagnostic accuracy and their confidence in making otologic diagnoses.

目的/假设：确定在大组培训课程中使用耳镜模拟器教授医学生耳镜检查基本原理并提高他们进行耳科诊断信心的有效性。
横断面调查设计。
2013年3月，耳鼻喉头颈外科在玛斯创新中心为92名多伦多大学一年级和二年级医学生举办了一次大规模耳镜模拟器教学课程。培训课程结束后，为学生提供了一份可选的电子调查问卷，内容涉及他们单独使用模拟器学习耳镜检查的经历，以及与传统教学方法的比较。
34名医学生完成了调查。91%的受访者表示活动的整体质量非常好或优秀。共有71%的受访者同意或强烈同意耳镜模拟器培训课程提高了他们诊断耳部疾病的信心。大多数（70%）学生表示培训课程激发了他们对耳鼻喉头颈外科作为一个医学专业的兴趣。
组织大组耳镜模拟器培训课程是一种让学生熟悉各种耳部疾病并提高其诊断准确性和进行耳科诊断信心的方法。
