Training of laryngologists
Laryngology is a field that is developing dynamically. New treatments, surgical techniques and new tools are introduced. Doctors learn about all this when they read specialized polish – and foreign-language laryngological journals, as well as participate in conferences, symposia and scientific congresses. Some of these meetings are of a scientific and training nature, and therefore combine the transfer of knowledge with the improvement of practical skills.
To make the most of these achievements, it is good to use the knowledge of colleagues abroad. Our laryngologist, Prof. Ewa Olszewska, regularly participates-not only as a listener, but above all as an active speaker-in international meetings of specialists in her field, so that her knowledge and skills present the world level.
