Message from the Chairman

The Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is pleased to present free online CME modules, highlighting Difficult Case Management in Otolaryngology. The cost is covered by the University of Miami, and development of the online CME site was directed by Brian Jewett, MD.

At the University of Miami Hospital and Jackson Memorial Hospital, we see a very large number of patients with challenging disorders. Each of the modules is presented by one of our faculty and includes diagnostic and treatment decisions, outcomes and a pertinent background review with references. CME credit is provided on-line immediately after completing each module.

I’m confident that you will find these very challenging cases and this high-tech format to be interesting to work with and highly instructive. Please open the sample module to get a better idea of what this is all about.
