Milestones 2.0: Otolaryngology Resident Competency in the Postpandemic Era.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Milestones Project grew out of a continued need to document objective outcomes within resident education. Milestones 2.0 began its work in 2016, with an intent to resolve inconsistencies in the original milestones based on an iterative process.

In Situ Simulation to Assess Pediatric Tracheostomy Care Safety: A Novel Multicenter Quality Improvement Program.

Objectives: Our objectives were (1) to use in situ simulation to assess the clinical environment and identify latent safety threats (LSTs) related to the management of pediatric tracheostomy patients and (2) to analyze the effects of systems interventions and team factors on LSTs and simulation performance.

Methods: A multicenter, prospective study to assess LSTs related to pediatric tracheostomy care management was conducted in emergency departments (EDs) and intensive care units (ICUs). LSTs were identified through equipment checklists and in situ simulations via structured debriefs and blinded ratings of team performance.

Performance Plateau in Prelingually and Postlingually Deafened Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients.

Objective: To characterize the performance plateau after unilateral cochlear implantation (CI) in prelingually and postlingually deafened adults and to compare their relative progress.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.
