Each ORL-HNS sub-specialty comprises different characteristics and a different learning curve, necessitating a tailored training program. Recognizing its sub-specialties distinctive features may assist in establishment of better-adapted learning curves in residency programs. Herein, we examine the use of anonymous electronic national survey. Laryngology, bottom ranked, is a prototype of a relatively new surgical discipline. Rhinology, ranked top by the residents, is an exemplar of a sub-specialty with an optimal 'educational environment'. Moreover, we have established golden training triangle, implicating, highlights the essential role of institutional and senior staff for proper residency teaching. We demonstrate and advocate the benefit of using an anonymous electronic questionnaire.
