Otolaryngology 2018 Online Review
This comprehensive review is designed to help you pass your Otolaryngology exams as well as to update your clinical knowledge base. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts and treatments. As a result, it provides a good review for the ABOto Qualifying and MOC exams, the Oral Certification exam, and a thorough update for practicing physicians. The course includes didactic lectures with embedded review questions and an online multiple-choice test to reinforce the approaches and strategies discussed. Emphasis is on evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts and testing strategies including an extensive review of head neck surgery and imaging, oral cancers, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty as well as ear disorders and hearing loss. Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with: improved diagnostic and planning strategies, a better understanding of the best surgical and non-surgical treatment approaches for the principal areas covered by head and neck surgeons, and helped them recognize areas of weakness for further study.
