[Teaching otorhinolaryngology in times of COVID-19: to what extent can digital formats replace face-to-face teaching?].

Objective: Due to the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, postgraduate training in otorhinolaryngology in 2020 was transferred completely from face-to-face to digital teaching. This paper assesses whether this change was possible without a reduction in the quality of teaching and learning.

Methods: Results of final written examinations were compared for the years 2016-2020, and the results of the teaching evaluation by the students for 2017-2020.
