Otorhinolaryngology. 2nd edition, processed and supplemented. Karpishchenko S.A.

The federal state educational standards of the new generation completely change the system of the formation of medical students. The main methodological component of the new standards is a competency -based approach.

Medical education model is to increase the level of students' knowledge by shifting an emphasis on practical training and professional disciplines. These factors change the requirements for textbooks for medical universities. The team of authors set the task to create a compact textbook with an emphasis on the practical significance of diseases of the ear, throat and nose. The modern level of development of otorhinolaryngology is associated with the emergence of completely new areas of interdisciplinary nature (cochlear implantation, night apnea syndrome, surgery of the base of the skull), so the authors tried to give only a general representation of the material in these sections.

Particular attention is paid to actual examination methods and X -ray methods of examination. Many sections of the textbook are devoted to urgent states in otorhinolaryngology. A separate chapter describes pharmacotherapy, taking into account general principles and approaches to the treatment of the most common otorhinolaryngological diseases.

The textbook is intended for students of medical faculties of medical universities.
