Resident Physician in Otolaryngology (ENT)

The training to become an ENT specialist is a versatile trajectory in which you develop into an independent and broadly deployable ENT specialist, with full attention to clinical expertise, personal development, science, education, and leadership.

The training duration is 5 years and is divided into blocks of 3 months. Additionally, two non-academic periods of 9 months each are completed in a hospital with accreditation for the non-academic part of the training.

With the introduction of the new training structure (ENTER 2), there is much attention to the guidance and assessment of the resident during the training, in which Short Practical Assessments (KPB) and OSATS are central. Additionally, an individual training plan is developed with the resident. Alongside learning on the job, structured education is provided, such as patient-related discussions, practical education on human cadaver material, and residents participate in specific ENT-oriented national exams as well as the mini-courses advised by ENTER. There are 4 cross-disciplinary profiles, namely science and evidence-based medicine, quality and patient safety, medical leadership, and education & training. For all 4 profiles, a resident achieves the basic level, with further development to the highest level for one profile as desired.

The Brain+Nerve Center (HZC) is a collaboration of six specialties within the MUMC+, in which the clinical and business approaches are jointly coordinated and implemented. The HZC is focused on patients with complex conditions related to the brain and/or nervous system, where the conditions often consist of multiple types of complaints and are characterized by complexity and co-morbidity. Because the complaints are investigated by specialists from different medical fields, we can perform efficient diagnostics and treatment, also for complex, tertiary care questions.

Furthermore, within the HZC, the various specialties work closely together in the fields of scientific research, education, and training, whereby innovations and fundamental knowledge are continuously generated and further developed.

Within the HZC, specialists from the following medical fields work together: Neurology, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Medical Psychology, Clinical Neurophysiology, and ENT.

Within the medical ENT department, the entire spectrum of Otolaryngology is practiced and patient care, research, and education take place through various medical specialists, researchers, and resident physicians. Additionally, the Audiology Center and the Balance sub-department fall under the ENT department.

You possess a medical degree, BIG registration, and you have a demonstrable interest in the ENT specialty and research in particular.

You organize your work efficiently, are eager to learn, self-reflective, and sincere. You develop your own vision on research and the ENT specialty, so that as a good professional you can look toward the future and contribute in a broad sense to the development of ENT. Science forms an integral part of your activities.

To successfully start in this role, it is important that you have a good command of the Dutch language (minimum B2 level) due to contact with, among others, patients and colleagues. Additionally, it is a requirement that you are permitted to work in the Netherlands (EU/EEA nationality or a valid work permit).
