Abstract
AbstractObjectiveThe UK Medical Licensing Assessment curriculum represents a consensus on core content, including ENT-related content for newly qualified doctors. No similar consensus exists as to how ENT content should be taught at medical school.MethodA virtual consensus forum was held at the 2nd East of England ENT Conference in April 2021. A syllabus of ENT-related items was divided into ‘Presentations’, ‘Conditions’ and ‘Practical procedures’. Twenty-seven students, 11 foundation doctors and 7 other junior doctors voted via anonymous polling for the best three of nine methods for teaching each syllabus item.ResultsFor ‘Presentations’ and ‘Conditions’, work-based or clinical-based learning and small-group seminars were more popular than other teaching methods. For ‘Practical procedures’, practical teaching methods were more popular than theoretical methods.ConclusionStudents and junior doctors expressed a clear preference for clinical-based teaching and small-group seminars when learning ENT content. E-learning was poorly favoured despite its increasing use.
