Session and Tracks

Track 1: Otolaryngology / Otorhinolaryngology

Otolaryngology, also known as otorhinolaryngology, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and management of conditions related to the ears, nose, and throat (ENT). Practitioners in this field, commonly known as otorhinolaryngologists or ENT physicians, undergo training in both medicine and surgery. Patients typically seek the expertise of these specialists for issues involving the ear, nose, and throat. Otolaryngologists utilize a hands-on approach to diagnosis through physical analysis.

This track encompasses various aspects of otolaryngology, including diseases of the ear, nose, and throat, paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, salivary glands, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus. Otolaryngologists also address ear infections and perform physical analyses for diagnosis.
