Using Computer-Assisted Instruction to Increase Otolaryngology Education During Medical School.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A quarter of all complaints seen in adult primary care and half of all complaints seen in pediatric primary care are otolaryngology related. Even though half of all medical students enter primary care fields, there is no standardized curriculum for otolaryngology during medical school. Due to increasing limitations on specialty teaching during general medical education, computer-assisted instruction has been suggested as a format for increasing exposure to otolaryngology.

Methods

We designed a computer-based learning module for teaching high-yield otolaryngology topics for third- and fourth-year medical students during their primary care clerkship at our institution from 2016-2018. We evaluated students' prior otolaryngology knowledge with 11 case-based, multipl
