title: Otolaryngology in the medical school curriculum.
abstract: Whether the family practitioner will emerge as the primary physician in the area of otolaryngology, with the specialist relegated to either a secondary or tertiary role, remains as yet unsettled. Given the uncertainty of the future place of otolaryngology in general health care, more attention should be placed on teaching otolaryngology to medical students.
