Abstract:
The field of rhinology is an exciting area with new surgical techniques constantly introduced. The way surgical skills are taught is changing with use of surgical simulators. Training programs are evolving to a competency-based model, and rhinology-specific tools need to be developed to assess the endoscopic sinus surgery skills of trainees.
