Hi Everyone,
I'm not new to SDN, but this is my first time posting. My question is on the differences in surgical capabilities that the various residencies for the following specialities provie : (a) Oral & Maxillofacial, (b) Otolaryngology-Head and Neck, and (c) Plastics. And this is just in the head and neck areas. I was trying to answer this question myself by looking on hospital websites, but the curriculum for residencies is generally very sparce and I only found a couple of hospitals that publish privelleges/credentialling requirements online.
And Im not really bothered about the general convention in specific hospitals or cities, so obviously in Hospital A, ENT may take Patient X, while OMF take Pateint Y, while in Hospital B its reversed. Rather Im looking for what procedures would a surgeon out of residency be qualified to perform in the head and neck. So things like skull base tumors, neck pathologies, facial reconstruction, complec facial trauma etc.
If this question has been asked and answered before Id love if anybody could just copy over any of the good threads, rather than repeating the information that'd be great either way.
Cheers,
Hari
