This Masterclass represents a major milestone for Tanzania’s capacity development in ear and hearing care. Not only has it strengthened surgical skills, the Masterclass has also demonstrated that Tanzania can sustain its own Otology training programmes using its own expertise. This is the ultimate goal of the HHA. To guild an already gleaming lily, seven participants came from outside the capitol, Dar es Salaam, ensuring the development of skills is propagated across the country.
Otology Masterclass in Tanzania
- July 15, 2023
Congratulations to our partners in Tanzania for holding the first Otology Masterclass led by instructors entirely from Tanzania. Twelve participating surgeons, who all rated the training as excellent, worked through topics including audiology, speech pathology, radiology, anatomy, surgery, and case presentations. Alongside lectures from local and international experts, participants were able to get into the lab for hands-on skills training sessions where they practiced temporal bone dissection, mastoidectomies, posterior tympanotomy, myringotomy and grommet tube insertions on the bones.
