Background: To assess when residents become proficient in performing flexible nasolaryngoscopy (FNL) in the pediatric population.
Objective: To objectively evaluate the quality of FNL by year of residency training.
Methods: Ninety-five pediatric FNL’s were performed by otolaryngology residents and pediatric otolaryngology fellows (postgraduate year [PGY] 1 – 6).
