PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This panel will follow a case-based approach to the evaluation and management of dermatologic issues in otolaryngology. This multidisciplinary panel will combine the expertise from dermatology, otology, and facial plastic reconstructive surgery to provide a comprehensive approach to infectious, inflammatory, and other benign skin conditions seen by ENTs. Management options ranging from systemic and topical medications (antiseptics, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory) to clinic procedures to surgical care will be discussed. Considerations when treating patients with systemic conditions which can manifest in the ear, face and neck such as eczema, psoriasis, lupus, and other dermatidites will be reviewed.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: Recognize morphology and symptoms of dermatologic conditions affecting the ear canal and pinna

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: Identify and learn to manage dermatologic pathology affecting the face and neck

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: Describe treatment strategies in the management of dermatologic conditions involving the ear, nose, face and neck.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: ENTs must understand dermatologic conditions affecting the care of other otolaryngologic pathology and also primarily treat dermatidites affecting the ear, face or neck. This panel will combine the perspective of a dermatologist with those of otologic and facial plastics specialists.
