title: [A concept to improve wet-lab training in ENT surgery].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In literature and scientific societies no binding methodical-didactic recommendations or guidelines exist in order to design surgical training courses. The educating institutions plan, organise and evaluate the educational program on their own initiative.
  
  
  METHODS
  Through a research project surgical training courses were investigated through structured surveys, expert discussions with course responsibles and trainers and analysis of participant's questionnaires. The investigation was performed by an pedagogical-psychological research institution. First implementations were installed and immediately included in the running process of evaluation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  From the evaluation, specific alterations in the organisational and micro didactic process were implemented. In addition, changes in a long term process had to be implemented such as: (a) conception of the trainer role, (b) giving feedback and judge performance and (c) provide contents in a sophisticated manner.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For advanced medical training providers a long term cooperation with a pedagogical institution seems to be highly advisable.
