Our 2 day Temporal Bone Course is aimed at CT1-ST8. A competency based training manual has been devised so trainees can complete 10-12 dissections on 1 cadaveric Temporal Bone in a self-paced, structured manner, under direct supervision of Otological Trainers. Our curriculum is maped to the ISCP and the dissections performed can be used for PBA (procedure based assessment).
