Fundamentals of ENT Clinical Skills for Medical and Interns
Introduction
This proposal outlines the plan for a hands-on educational workshop organized by the EROC Global Forum 2026, in collaboration with the Saudi Otorhinolaryngology Students Club. The workshop aims to provide medical students and interns with practical exposure to essential ENT clinical skills, including nasopharyngeal endoscopy, otoscopic examination, and basic suturing techniques, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world clinical application.
