PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES:
Oral and ENT disorders are some of the most common reasons that patients seek
medical or dental care. There is a great deal of overlap between
dental, general medical, and ENT specialty
practices. Patients frequently complain
of oral and dental problems to their ENT or general physician and ENT problems
to their primary care physician or dentist.
Unfortunately, most medical and dental school curriculums as well as
residency programs devote very little time to educating their students and
residents
regarding these overlapping areas. This course seeks to reduce this knowledge
deficit and enhance interdisciplinary patient care by providing a review of
diagnostic criteria and current therapy of diseases of the oral cavity and head
and neck with a particular emphasis on those areas with overlap among the
various disciplines encountering these disorders. Therefore, the topics have been selected to serve the needs of a
broad range of practitioners with exposure to these disease processes. The course material will provide
the primary care physician or general medical
physician with an update in both dental and ENT areas affecting their
practice. General and specialized
dental practitioners will gain more knowledge of unusual oral cavity disorders
and a broader understanding of ENT disorders that relate to the oral cavity.
Otolaryngologists will benefit from being able to recognize oral cavity
diseases encountered in their practice as well by obtaining
an update in their own field. The faculty members have practiced in an
interdisciplinary fashion for the past 14 years, which allows them to provide
such education to a seemingly diverse group.
The course is structured to allow a high degree of
interactive discussion with the faculty and practitioners from other disciplines. The sessions will be scheduled to allow for
maximum enjoyment of the cruise and ports of call.
