Reorganization of the resident
logbook according to subspecialties
 It will facilitate residency training

come up with their own fellowship programs
Residency logbook and subspecialty

Content of the logbook

Required literature and scientific journals to be

Currently we have 8 recognised
fellowship programmes available
The reason not to publish the 2
year programme
 Open questions and frank criticism regarding
overlapping of procedures with
subspecialties such as HNS
 Lack of training facilities
 Funding of a 2 year fellowship

Why Aesthetic ?
 6 years ago the plastic surgeons put it in
their titles
 Created monopoly
 Against the rules of fair play
 “Doctor will and aesthetic surgeon take
part in my operation to put the sticthes?”
Road map
 National delegates and EAFPS members
should work closely with national ENT
societies and UEMS-ORL delegates
 Please affiliate your working group or FPS
society with your National ENT Society
 Try build the FPS program of a general annual
ENT meeting through your FPS group
 Be active in your country in educating the
residents and collegues
