Course Overview

Otolaryngology encompasses a wide range of disease processes affecting the:

• Ear
• Hearing system
• Vestibular system
• Nose
• Paranasal sinuses
• Oral cavity
• Pharynx
• Larynx
• Salivary glands
• Thyroid and parathyroid glands

Successful board preparation therefore requires more than memorizing isolated diagnoses.

Physicians must understand:

Etiology → Clinical Presentation → Diagnostic Evaluation → Differential Diagnosis → Treatment → Surgery → Complications → Rehabilitation

The Osler Otolaryngology Review 2026 is structured around this broad clinical approach.
