As the competitiveness of matching to an otolaryngology residency continues to climb, students are encouraged to seek mentorship and research within their home institution. This notion, however, does not account for students without a home otolaryngology program or department. Here, we present a research model where medical students conduct clinical research and gain experience and mentorship within a local otolaryngology private practice. Over the span of 6 years, rotating students produced an average of 3 research projects per year. Fourth-year medical students within the practice had an average of 20.5 publications, exceeding the 2020 National Residency Match Program's metrics for matched otolaryngology applicants. Private practices may provide research and mentorship for students with limited resources. Similarly, physicians who oversee such students may gain added help to conduct research within their practice. This symbiotic relationship may serve in advancing evidence-based clinical practice while amplifying the diverse voices of students otherwise seldom heard.
随着耳鼻喉科住院医师匹配的竞争持续加剧，鼓励学生在本校寻求导师指导和开展研究。然而，这一理念并未考虑到那些没有本校耳鼻喉科项目或科室的学生。在此，我们提出一种研究模式，即医学生在当地耳鼻喉科私人诊所进行临床研究，并获得经验和导师指导。在6年的时间里，轮转学生平均每年完成3个研究项目。该诊所内的四年级医学生平均有20.5篇出版物，超过了2020年全国住院医师匹配计划中匹配到耳鼻喉科的申请人的指标。私人诊所可为资源有限的学生提供研究和指导。同样，监督这些学生的医生在其诊所开展研究时可能会获得额外帮助。这种共生关系可能有助于推进循证临床实践，同时放大那些原本很少被听到的学生的不同声音。
