THE SYLLABUS OF
OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY
Applicable Students: Six-year system oversea students in the department of
clinical medicine.
Class Hours: It takes 40 hours to study this course. The study of theory consists of
24 hours and the laboratory practicals take up 16 hours.
Course Introduction:
The course is one of many specialty areas of clinical medicine, involving both
medical and surgical management of problems in the head and neck. It is investigating
the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the ear, nose, throat, trachea, esophagus, and
so on and their relationship with the whole body.
The Basic Objectives:
Students are to master the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of common
diseases and the multiple ENT diseases.
