520 _aConclusion: Very few of the surveyed otolaryngology residency programs have implemented a health disparities curriculum. A comprehensive and standardized health disparities curriculum would be beneficial to ensure that residents can confidently develop competency in health disparities, aligning with the Clinical Learning Environment Review mandate and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education expectations.

520 _aMethods: A survey based on published literature discussing the incorporation of health disparities curricula, educational design, quality, barriers to implementation, and patient demographics was sent to US otolaryngology residency program directors (PDs). Otolaryngology programs excluded from consideration included those of osteopathic recognition, programs outside of the United States, and military programs. In excluding osteopathic, international, and military-based residency programs from our survey, we aimed to maintain sample homogeneity and focus our analysis on allopathic programs due to potential variations in demographic compositions and practice settings. This decision was made to ensure a more targeted examination of health disparities within a specific context, aligning with our research objectives and resource constraints. Anonymous survey results were collected and analyzed to determine the prevalence of health disparities curricula as well as their effectiveness and standardization across residency programs.
520 _aObjective: To assess the prevalence of health disparities curricula in otolaryngology residency programs and identify implementation barriers.
520 _aResults: A total of 24 PDs (response rate, 23%) responded to the survey. Half of the PDs reported having a health disparities curriculum, among whom only 25% felt the quality of their curriculum was very good or excellent. All institutions with an explicit health disparities educational program reported having developed their own curriculum, 75% of which changed annually. However, 92% of these programs reported not measuring outcomes to assess their curriculum's utility. The most reported barriers to curriculum development for all programs included insufficient time (63%), limited teaching ability specific to health disparities education (54%), and faculty disinterest in teaching (33%).
520 _aSetting: National otolaryngology residency programs.
520 _aStudy Design: Cross-sectional survey.
