This article seeks to review current virtual and non-virtual reality simulation models within the literature and review their validation status.Recent FindingsMany simulation models exist within otolaryngology and are currently being used for education. New models are also continuously being developed; however, validity should be proven for the models before incorporating their use for educational purposes. Validity should be determined by experts and trainees themselves.SummaryA validated simulation curriculum should be incorporated within the otolaryngology training programme. A curriculum based on the current training programme at our institution serves as an exemplar for local adoption.
