Abstract:
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, more commonly known as ear, nose, and throat surgery, is more than ear tubes and children's tonsils. It is an exciting and diverse surgical subspecialty that focuses on every kind of disorder of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists treat patients from infancy to geriatrics, delivering both medical and surgical care. There are also multiple opportunities to subspecialize after residency training. The information in this career development resource provides an understanding of otolaryngology and its subspecialty areas and training requirements.
