In a child under one year of age the symptoms of ENT diseases are subtle, while the cost of delay is high: respiratory disorders and infections develop rapidly. The course provides a structured approach to diagnosis and management tactics taking into account the anatomical and physiological features of infancy.

You will assess an infant's condition more calmly and accurately, distinguish the norm from pathology, and identify indications for referral in time. The program relies on current clinical guidelines and the practical experience of pediatric otolaryngologists.
