Medical Student Electives
Otolaryngology
The Department of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery
at MetroHealth Medical Center provides medical and surgical evaluation and
treatment care for patients with ear, nose, and throat difficulties. The
Department currently has four full-time, one half time, and one part-time
faculty members. The Department provides a full spectrum of modern
otolaryngology care including treatment in the areas of otology, rhinology,
allergy, and sinusology, head and neck cancer, and facial plastic and
reconstructive surgery. Medical student rotations provide the opportunity for
development of a basic framework for recognition and treatment of common
disorders of the head and neck, initial management of head and neck emergencies,
and indications for specialty referral. An additional goal would be to provide
sufficient exposure to this specialty to assist in career planning. Rotations
from 1-4 weeks are available.
