The course aims to enable the students to understand common problems in Otorhinolaryngology, Head, and Neck Surgery. More than 40% of the general outpatient cases of any primary care clinic consist of diseases related to the ear, nose, throat, and head & neck region. Thus, it is of utmost importance that the student should be well-versed in this area.
The student is expected to gain knowledge and experience in the three-week clinical postings. You are expected to perform common procedures and observe other more complex procedures.
To familiarize yourself with the common ORL-HNS examinations, you have to perform otoscopy, anterior and posterior rhinoscopy, indirect laryngoscopy, neck examination, and cranial nerves examination on at least 15 of your colleagues before embarking to see ORL-HNS patients.
We are going to have a hybrid session during these postings. Most of the seminars and tutorials will be conducted online. As for improving your clinical skills, it is compulsory for you to attend all the clinics, ward round, on-call and be in the operation theatre when needed. attendance on each activity during the postings is compulsory.
At the end of the postings, we will have End Of Posting Assessment including OSCE and QUIZ. Please answer it ALL. It is also compulsory for you to fill in the feedback form and "Penilaian Pengajaran" for these postings.
Thank you.
