title: Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotation: otolaryngology.
abstract: This is the sixth article in a continuing series on objectives for emergency medicine training; otolaryngological objectives will be presented. Otolaryngological skills and knowledge areas are frequently encountered in clinical practice. The Core Content in emergency medicine devotes an entire section to their listing. Off-service rotations provide some one-half of all rotational-based experience in emergency medicine training. Specific behaviorally based objectives for mastery of knowledge and skill areas provide guidance in a training rotation not directly under emergency medicine faculty supervision. References are suggested for additional and supportive information and reinforcement in skill and knowledge area mastery. These objectives are presented to aid in directing training of emergency medicine residents on an otolaryngological service.
