ENT Course

Lesson 1 • Anatomy of the External and Middle Ear

Covers auricle, ear canal, tympanic membrane, and ossicles. Establishes structural baseline for understanding hearing and pathology.

Lesson 2 • Pharynx and Larynx Anatomy

Describes nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and laryngeal cartilages. Connects structural knowledge to swallowing and voice production.

Lesson 3 • Neck Anatomy Relevant to ENT

Covers cervical lymph node levels, major vessels, and salivary glands. Supports clinical assessment of neck masses and ENT malignancies.

Lesson 4 • Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses

Details nasal turbinates, septum, ostiomeatal complex, and sinus drainage pathways. Provides anatomical context for rhinologic disease.

Lesson 1 • Structured ENT History Framework

Teaches symptom-specific questioning for ear, nasal, and throat complaints. Builds a reproducible framework applicable across all ENT presentations.

Lesson 2 • Neck and Lymph Node Assessment

Teaches systematic neck palpation, lymph node characterization, and salivary gland assessment. Integrates findings with ENT history for differential diagnosis.

Lesson 3 • Oral Cavity and Oropharynx Examination

Covers systematic inspection of lips, mucosa, tongue, tonsils, and posterior pharynx. Enables detection of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic findings.

Lesson 4 • Nasal and Sinus Examination

Teaches anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy principles, and sinus palpation. Connects examination findings to rhinologic pathology identification.

Lesson 1 • Tympanometry and Acoustic Reflexes

Covers tympanogram types, middle ear pressure assessment, and acoustic reflex testing. Differentiates conductive from sensorineural pathology.

Lesson 2 • Conductive Hearing Loss

Identifies causes including otitis media, otosclerosis, and ossicular disruption. Links audiological patterns to specific middle ear pathologies.

Lesson 3 • Principles of Audiometry

Explains pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and audiogram interpretation. Establishes the diagnostic foundation for all hearing disorder evaluation.

Lesson 4 • Hearing Rehabilitation Options

Introduces hearing aids, bone-anchored devices, and cochlear implant candidacy criteria. Connects audiological findings to appropriate rehabilitation pathways.

Lesson 1 • Tinnitus Assessment and Management

Covers subjective and objective tinnitus evaluation, red flags, and management options. Integrates audiological data with patient-centered treatment planning.

Lesson 2 • Cholesteatoma Diagnosis and Management

Explains acquired and congenital cholesteatoma formation, staging, and surgical principles. Emphasizes early detection to prevent serious complications.

Lesson 3 • Otitis Externa and Canal Disorders

Addresses acute diffuse, malignant, and fungal otitis externa. Connects examination findings to targeted topical and systemic treatment.

Lesson 4 • Vestibular Disorders and Vertigo

Differentiates BPPV, Meniere disease, vestibular neuritis, and central causes. Applies positional testing and maneuvers to clinical management.

Lesson 1 • Allergic and Non-Allergic Rhinitis

Covers pathophysiology, allergy testing, and stepwise pharmacological management. Connects nasal examination findings to appropriate rhinitis classification.

Lesson 2 • Septal Deviation and Nasal Obstruction

Evaluates causes of nasal obstruction, septal deviation grading, and turbinate hypertrophy. Guides conservative and surgical management decisions.

Lesson 3 • Epistaxis Evaluation and Management

Covers anterior and posterior epistaxis causes, first-aid measures, and procedural interventions. Addresses recurrent epistaxis workup and prevention.

Lesson 4 • Acute and Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Defines diagnostic criteria, imaging indications, and medical management for rhinosinusitis. Identifies when surgical intervention is warranted.

Lesson 1 • Pharyngitis and Tonsil Disorders

Covers bacterial and viral pharyngitis, peritonsillar abscess, and tonsillectomy criteria. Connects clinical scoring tools to antibiotic stewardship.

Lesson 2 • Laryngoscopy Techniques and Findings

Introduces flexible and rigid laryngoscopy, stroboscopy, and normal versus pathological findings. Builds procedural competency for laryngeal assessment.

Lesson 3 • Dysphagia Assessment and Management

Evaluates oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia causes, clinical assessment, and instrumental evaluation. Guides multidisciplinary management planning.

Lesson 4 • Benign Laryngeal Lesions

Addresses vocal nodules, polyps, cysts, and Reinke edema diagnosis and management. Links voice use patterns to lesion formation and treatment.

Lesson 1 • Epidemiology and Risk Factors

Covers incidence, tobacco, alcohol, HPV, and EBV associations with head and neck cancers. Establishes the epidemiological foundation for cancer recognition.

Lesson 2 • Multidisciplinary Oncology Team Roles

Defines roles of surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, speech therapy, and nutrition. Prepares ENT practitioners for effective tumor board participation.

Lesson 3 • Thyroid and Salivary Gland Tumors

Addresses thyroid nodule evaluation, salivary gland tumor classification, and surgical management. Applies risk stratification to guide intervention decisions.

Lesson 4 • Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer

Covers clinical presentation, staging, and treatment of oral and oropharyngeal malignancies. Distinguishes HPV-positive from HPV-negative disease management.

Lesson 1 • Facial Trauma and Nasal Fractures

Covers nasal fracture assessment, septal hematoma, and facial fracture classification. Guides acute management and timing of definitive repair.

Lesson 2 • Airway Emergencies in ENT

Covers epiglottitis, Ludwig angina, foreign body aspiration, and emergency airway management. Prioritizes rapid recognition and intervention to prevent airway loss.

Lesson 3 • Deep Neck Space Infections

Addresses peritonsillar, parapharyngeal, and retropharyngeal abscess diagnosis and drainage. Emphasizes complication prevention through timely surgical intervention.

Lesson 4 • Core ENT Procedural Skills

Teaches myringotomy, grommet insertion, nasal cauterization, and flexible laryngoscopy. Builds procedural confidence through stepwise technique instruction.
