OTO 402 - Otolaryngology

This elective offers a broad and flexible orientation suitable for medical students interested in surgery or the primary care specialties. The student will receive a wide exposure to medical and surgical aspects and diseases of the head and neck in adults and children. All students obtain experience with the diagnosis and initial treatment of head and neck problems commonly encountered by primary care providers. Because the ENT department serves a large and diversified patient population, there is also ample opportunity for more in-depth experience with the complete spectrum of head and neck disorders. The proportion of time each medical student spends in the clinic or operating room will be tailored to emphasize the student’s interests.
