Program Description

Many common ENT conditions can be managed at the primary health care level with the potential for decreasing the financial burden on patients, hospitals, and specialty referrals and improving quality of care especially in rural, underserved areas. Common ENT conditions account for a substantial portion of billing in office and hospital revenue, which translates to large expenditures in ambulatory and emergency department utilization and resources. Integrating ENT expertise into continuing educational and training programs of primary care practitioners offers an opportunity to offset the limited exposure and training in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and provide future direction in meeting the changing healthcare landscape. This targeted, educational CME program features cost effective procedural learning, demonstrations, and take-home tools to enhance the practitioners’ knowledge, skills, and competence in clinical practice.
