The Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery is excited to continue offering its five-part ENT Refresher webinar series for family physicians and primary care providers. Although these webinars are designed for family physicians and primary care providers, we encourage other ENT healthcare professionals to attend, including residents, medical students, audiologists, and speech-language pathologists. Each of the five webinars will be forty-five minutes in length, followed by thirty minutes question and answer periods.

  • Apply knowledge of recent advances to complex or challenging cases in Otolaryngology
  • Employ an increased quality of care to patients requiring ENT based treatment
  • Recognize when a referral to an ENT specialist should occur, and how to optimize pre-referral workup
