Our institution previously established the ENT Mentorship Program (ENTMP), which provides medical students with early clinical exposure, research opportunities, and mentorship. The objective of this study was to assess the program's effectiveness in developing medical students' technical skills with an established curriculum over the course of the ENTMP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Students were administered self\u2010reported confidence surveys and previously validated skills checklists for suturing, flexible laryngoscopy, and tympanostomy tube (TT) insertion using the 5\u2010point Likert scale before beginning the ENTMP. Students were then instructed on how to perform these procedures by faculty throughout the ENTMP. At the conclusion of the ENTMP, the same evaluations were administered.

In student self\u2010reported assessments, the all\u2010student group demonstrated significant improvements across more domains than the subgroup analysis (14\/14 vs. 6\/14 domains, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the implementation of a formalized technical skills component within the ENTMP, students demonstrated both subjective and objective improvements in technical skills, including suturing, flexible laryngoscopy, and TT insertion.
