Program Director Message
Dear Prospective Fellows,
Welcome to our Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship Program. On behalf of our faculty, I would like to thank you for your interest in this unique program. It has been my absolute pleasure to work on establishing and launching the first Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship Program in the UAE, and I am looking forward to meeting and training UAE’s future Pediatric Otolaryngology Consultants.
The primary focus of this fellowship is the development of complex pediatric otolaryngology clinical skills. Attending to ICU (intensive care unit) consultations for example and getting actively involved in complex cases’ management (medical and surgical) will give the fellow this chance. The fellow will be responsible for clinical decision-making, with suitable supervision as needed, and will be actively exposed to the two main pillars of Pediatric otolaryngology: Airways and Otology.
In our Program, we believe that self-motivation and genuine dedication are as important as medical excellence. These are all the elements that are required for a stellar training program that yields successful trainees.
Prepare to embark on an inspiring journey in pediatric otolaryngology, where your commitment to advancing young patients’ lives is truly commendable. We are thrilled to join you on this path of exploration, growth, and excellence, shaping the future of ENT care for our littlest patients.
Welcome to our dynamic and supportive community, where your contributions will make a lasting impact. We look forward to meeting you.
Warm regards,
Dr. Mohamad Bitar
