 Course Objectives

1.         To expose students to a practical, realistic and representative

            cross-section of ear, nose and throat and head and neck

           problems in a comprehensive form.

2.         To teach practical and theoretical aspects of the basic principles

            of the specialty.

3.         To enable the students to achieve a realistic working knowledge

            in the specialty, they should be able to appreciate and effectively

            handle the ear,nose and throat and head and neck problems of

            importance; those which are common conditions or those that

           are of serious consequences and call for appropriate referral

          within the field of otolaryngology.

4.                  Finally, the curriculum in otohinolaryngology should create an

           interest and stimulate the students for further postgraduate

           studies in this particular specialty.
