For educational use only — not medical advice.
OtoResidENT is a study tool for trainees. It is not a substitute for professional clinical judgment, supervision, or institutional protocols, and must never be relied upon for patient care.
Educational purpose
OtoResidENT is a study aid for medical students, residents, fellows, and clinicians in Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery. It synthesizes original prose from open-access sources (clinical practice guidelines, peer-reviewed literature, FDA labels, and public-domain anatomy references) to support board preparation and self-directed learning.
Not medical advice or clinical decision support
Nothing in the Service constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not clinical decision support. The Service does not establish a physician–patient relationship. It does not replace attending consultation, up-to-date guidelines, drug references, or the standards of care used at the point of care.
Always verify against primary sources
Content may contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date information, and citations are provided so you can confirm the original source. Always independently verify drug doses, indications, contraindications, surgical steps, and management decisions against authoritative primary sources and your institution's protocols before applying anything clinically.
No reliance for patient care
Do not use OtoResidENT to make decisions about the care of any identifiable patient. Clinical decisions must be made by appropriately qualified, licensed clinicians exercising independent professional judgment and, where applicable, under proper supervision. You assume all responsibility and risk for any use of the information provided.
AI-generated content
The AI tutor and AI-assisted content pipeline may produce inaccurate or incomplete information (“hallucinations”). Although the system is designed to cite its sources and to refuse out-of-scope or identifiable-patient questions, its output is a starting point for further reading — never a final clinical answer.
No emergencies
OtoResidENT is not for emergencies. If you or someone else may be experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or seek immediate care from a qualified professional.
