Teaching frontal sinus anatomy using the frontal sinus masterclass 3 ‐ D conceptualization model
ConclusionObjectively, participants of the FSMC expanded on their ability to recognize cells of the frontal recess on CT scans. Before the class, residents could answer less than half of the answers correctly, and by the end of the class they were answering over two‐thirds of these complex questions correctly. Subjectively, participants reported benefit from the course and felt they would be better surgeons. Level of EvidenceNA. Laryngoscope, 2017

Cost of management in epistaxis admission: Impact of patient and hospital characteristics
ConclusionAlthough hospitalization costs are complex and multifactorial, we were able to identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with high costs in the management of epistaxis. Early identification and intervention, combined with implementation of targeted hospital management protocols, may improve outcomes and reduce financial burden. Level of Evidence2C.

Teaching and assessing endoscopic sinus surgery skills on a validated low‐cost task trainer
Conclusions:The sinus surgery task trainer provides an effective means of teaching and evaluating nasal endoscopy and basic sinus surgery skills for novice surgeons. With repeated practice, there was significant improvement in performance. An OSATS using the sinus surgery task trainer suggests that we can effectively measure endoscopic sinus surgery ability with the potential to reliably determine competency outside the operating room.
