Popis: | BACKGROUND The objective of this work was to assess resident education regarding contemporary management of hereditary angioedema using a web-based survey. METHODS An 11-item, multiple-choice, electronic questionnaire was sent to all 106 accredited otolaryngology training programs in November 2016. Questions focused on resident education, management principles, and formalized assessment. RESULTS A total of 34 program directors responded, representing 32% of otolaryngology residences. Ninety-seven percent believed otolaryngology residents should be knowledgeable in the management of hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (C1-INH-HAE). Specifically, 38% and 26% of program directors felt their residents were comfortable and very comfortable in C1-INH-HAE management, respectively. Of those surveyed, 18% have educational simulation activities and a protocol in place for C1-INH-HAE management. Forty-seven percent of respondents felt their training program provided adequate education and exposure to C1-INH-HAE. Over the last 5 years, 45% felt residents were exposed to 1 to 5 cases of C1-INH-HAE. Sixty-seven percent of residents were trained in the management of C1-INH-HAE through in-person lectures. Seventy-one percent of programs had no formal assessment of resident competency in C1-INH-HAE management. CONCLUSION This study is the first to offer insight into C1-INH-HAE education and management principles in otolaryngology training programs. Surveyed program directors believe residents need a strong knowledge base in the management of C1-INH-HAE but less than half feel their trainees acquire the necessary exposure to this emergent disease process. Future research efforts in this area should aim to determine optimal educational activities as well as how to best incorporate this into otolaryngology residency curricula. |
