Curriculum

2-12 weeks’ curriculum

The program is designed to provide advanced clinical training in all major aspects of otologic surgery. The fellowship is based at the Division of Otology which is part of the Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Department founded in 1894, and is one of the biggest departments in South-eastern Europe. With four operating theaters, and hospital 66 beds, we preform 300+ major otologic procedures year, including 35 cochlear implants.Fellows will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate
accommodation and local amenities). We will arrange an initial meeting and feedback meetings with the fellow to discuss the objectives of the training as well as informal and social networking opportunities.

The fellow will be fully involved with all activities of the Department. They will be also able to observe clinical work of the faculty members of the Department.

The fellow will be given the opportunity to actively participate in group meetings and other academic activities within the Department, including attending workshops, conferences, etc.

Throughout the training, any particular challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.
