Otolaryngology Cases
There is a nice consistent style...which makes for very easy reading and not just dipping in at random...The brief, punchy style of this book is highly recommended to all trainees and, at least as much, to their trainers. -- The Journal of Laryngology & Otology
In the tradition of the acclaimed first edition, experts from the University of Cincinnati's Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery present new case reviews. Every chapter presents patient-based scenarios to prepare practitioners for ENT cases they will encounter during rounds, rotations, and patient exams. By establishing a uniform algorithm in obtaining and utilizing discreet points of data, the authors encourage a disciplined approach to patient assessment and management options.
Sections organized by anatomy and subspecialty enhance the ability to learn and retain knowledge. For example, benign and malignant pathologies are systematically detailed in anatomical sections dedicated to the neurovascular structures, oral cavity and pharynx, larynx, thyroid, salivary gland, and skin. The text covers the full age continuum - including congenital, acquired, benign, and malignant disorders such as pediatric subglottic stenosis and facial, head, and neck cancers that primarily affect adults.
Key Highlights

* Chapter bibliographies with current literature sources augment case reviews.

Teaching as if Learning Matters
Teaching is an essential skill in becoming a faculty member in

Matters collects first-person narratives from graduate
students and new PhDs that explore how the skills required to teach
at a college level are developed. It examines the key issues that
graduate students face as they learn to teach effectively when in
fact they are still learning and being taught. Featuring
contributions from over thirty graduate students from a variety of
disciplines at Indiana University, Teaching as if Learning
Matters allows these students to explore this topic from their
own unique perspectives. They reflect on the importance of teaching
to them personally and professionally, telling of both successes
and struggles as they learn and embrace teaching for the first time
