Experience with key indicator cases among otolaryngology residents.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the resident experience with respect to key indicator cases for each year of training.

Study design

Multi-institution, cross-sectional assessment.

Methods

Using an electronic survey, current otolaryngology residents were solicited to complete a survey regarding their experiences with the key indicator cases to that point. The survey was sent to this cohort in the winter of 2017-2018.

Results

Three hundred and three residents responded, with 293 completing the survey. Twenty-three percent were PGY1, 19% PGY2, 21% PGY3, 18% PGY4, and 19% PGY5 or higher. The majority of residents progress from resident assistant as a PGY2, to resident surgeon as a PGY3 and self-assessed competent surgeon as a PGY4 for the majority of the key indicator cases.
