Near-peer teaching (NPT) has been successfully used in other medical specialties but not in ear, nose and throat surgery (ENT). Historically, undergraduates receive limited ENT exposure and subsequently report low confidence in ENT competencies. This has been a posited cause of high referral rates to the specialty. This study aimed to see if NPT could be implemented as an adjunct to traditional ENT teaching.
