Higher Speciality Training Boot Camp in Otolaryngology: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of the Northern National Formative Specialty Training 3 Induction Course.

Background Opportunities for new otolaryngology trainees to develop their skills as they embark on specialty training can be limited. Our facility hosted a national simulation-based boot camp for new otolaryngology trainees in the UK. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the boot camp in improving trainee confidence as they transitioned from core surgical training (CST) to higher specialty training (HST) in otolaryngology.
