Sarah K. –
Great foundational review for ABOto boards. The otology sessions with Aaron Benson were particularly strong. The COVID-19 content was a timely addition for clinical practice.
Priya N. –
Content was solid but the production quality felt dated compared to more recent courses. The clinical knowledge was still valuable and the faculty expertise was evident throughout.
M. Alvarez –
Comprehensive coverage from 9 experienced faculty. The head and neck surgery sessions with Louis Portugal were thorough. Some topics could have been more in depth but overall solid board review.
drtomh –
Good variety of subspecialty coverage. The pediatric ENT sessions with Jay Shah were particularly well organized. The facial plastics section covered all the key techniques for the boards.
James L. –
This course helped me pass my ABOto boards. The evidence-based approach and board-relevant focus made it an efficient study tool. The allergy and immunology sessions filled a gap in my knowledge.
