Near-peer teaching (NPT) significantly improved medical undergraduates' confidence and knowledge in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery. This method can effectively supplement traditional ENT education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Undergraduate exposure to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery is limited, leading to low confidence in essential competencies.
  • This deficit is suspected to contribute to high referral rates within the specialty.
  • Near-peer teaching (NPT) has proven effective in other medical fields but its application in ENT surgery education is unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of implementing NPT as a supplementary educational tool in undergraduate ENT surgery.
  • To assess changes in student confidence and knowledge following NPT intervention.

Main Methods:

  • An undergraduate cohort received a focused NPT module on clinical ear, nose, and throat (ENT) topics.
  • Pre- and post-module questionnaires were administered to quantify changes in student confidence and knowledge.

Main Results:

  • The NPT intervention was delivered to 125 undergraduate learners.
  • A statistically significant increase in confidence (24.2%, p < 0.001) and knowledge (35.9%, p < 0.001) was observed post-module.

Conclusions:

  • Near-peer teaching (NPT) can be effectively integrated as an adjunct to conventional undergraduate ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery curricula.
  • NPT demonstrates potential to enhance both confidence and knowledge in medical students pursuing ENT specialties.
