Abstract

The fascinating program for training in clinical practice is not only valuable as a means of education itself, but also for recruitment of otolaryngologists. In this report, we introduce our trial of medical education in the field of otolaryngology. Before the examination for bedside training, that is, computer-based testing (CBT) and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), we delivered an anatomy lecture using a cadaver. This training was expected to enable students to easily recognize the anatomy of organs during OSCE programs. During the lecture, we also provided important otolaryngological knowledge necessary for all clinicians. For better education, the cadavers were dissected by the young otolaryngologists. The dissection was carried out as a part of thyroidectomy, neck dissection, parotidectomy and mastoidectomy. These dissections are, of course, valuable for surgical simulation.<br/>Since a variety of subjects must be covered in the otolaryngological field, anatomy education alone would not be sufficient. However, this anatomy lecture using a cadaver was not only effective for education of the medical students, but also invaluable for providing satisfaction to the students and surgical training to the young otolaryngologists. Senior otolaryngologists should devise more attractive education programs for both students and young otolaryngologists, which would contribute to progress in the field of otolaryngology.
