The elective is designed to be an outstanding learning environment for students interested in pursuing Otolaryngology as a career or students who would benefit from exposure to Otolaryngology for their career. Students will be expected to track patients assigned to the Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery service throughout the patient's hospital stay including planned and emergent surgery. Attendance at weekly didactic conference (Tuesday 4 to 6 PM) is required.
