Recognize and manage high-risk ENT conditions commonly encountered in urgent, emergent, and primary care settings, such as otitis externa/media, peritonsillar abscess, and angioedema.

Differentiate between routine ENT issues and urgent/emergent presentations, including deep neck space infections, auricular and septal hematomas, and invasive fungal sinusitis.

Apply evidence-based treatment protocols for common ENT emergencies, including appropriate use of antibiotics, debridement techniques, drainage procedures, and packing methods.

Identify red flag symptoms in ENT cases that may indicate a need for immediate referral, surgical intervention, or airway management.

Utilize practical examination and procedural skills, such as anterior rhinoscopy, ear foreign body removal, peritonsillar abscess drainage, and nasal packing techniques.
