UKRAINE OPENS DOORS TO OTOLOGY TRAINING
IVANO-FRANKOVICH, Ukraine- Under the umbrella of the Soviet Union until 1991, the Ukraine is slowly making advances to improve the quality of care offered those suffering from ear disease. GEO was invited to help develop and teach theory and skills to the ENT residents and doctors wanting to learn. Services in otology are limited and found only in a few cities in the country, but this is soon to change.
