IMPORTANCE: There is a notable lack of low-cost OHNS simulation models that are relevant for early medical trainees and students. By conducting this study, we will understand the current landscape of low-cost otolaryngology-head and neck surgery simulation for early medical trainees and students. OBJECTIVES: Medical simulation is essential for surgical training yet is often too expensive and inaccessible in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Furthermore, in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS), while simulation training is often focused on senior residents and specialists, there is a critical need to target general practitioners who carry a significant load of OHNS care in countries with limited OHNS providers...
