Training should emphasize conditions and surgical procedures most commonly managed by ORL rather than those typically managed by other departments. Although trainees should receive a comprehensive and extensive education in all areas of the field, residency and fellowship programs should be tailored to match the current day-to-day practice of pediatric otolaryngologists. It is important to monitor the current trends in pediatric ORL to ensure adequate resident training and foster collaboration with other specialties. In general, pediatric health care systems serve large populations and provide routine and complex ORL care. Pediatric ORL covers a wide range of conditions, from common diseases such as recurrent acute otitis media to rare anomalies of the airway and congenital neck masses. The field of ORL currently has 8 subspecialties, including pediatric, allergy, head and neck surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, otology/neurotology, rhinology, laryngology, and sleep medicine. Pediatric ORL services exist at almost every children’s hospital in the United States and worldwide.
Today, there are 23 accredited and 12 unaccredited fellowship programs in the United States and Canada. Formal organizations and societies, both national and international, were created to bring together practitioners in the field, the first of which was the Society of Ear, Nose, and Throat Advances in Children in 1973. However, it was not until the 1940s that otolaryngologists began specializing in the care of children. The development of otorhinolaryngology (ORL) as a surgical specialty in North America began in the late 19th century.
