The Diploma in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (DO-HNS) is an intercollegiate examination run jointly with the other Royal Colleges of Surgeons in Great Britain and Ireland.
Purpose
The purpose of the Intercollegiate Diploma in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery is to test the breadth of knowledge, the clinical and communication skills, and the professional attributes considered appropriate by the Colleges for a doctor intending to undertake practice within an Otolaryngology department in a trainee position.
It is also intended to provide a test for those who wish to practise within another medical specialty, but who have an interest in the aspects of where that specialty interacts with the field of otolaryngology.
