Nontechnical skills (NTS) are essential to emergency crisis management. Due to the rarity of true emergencies, they are challenging to teach and assess within a competency-based curriculum. Our purpose is to evaluate the utility of the Non-Technical Skills in Surgery (NOTSS) scale in NTS assessment in simulated otolaryngology and head and neck surgery (OTO-HNS) emergencies and identify common challenges that residents encounter. ⋯ NA.
