Otology Fellowships

For those who are considering to undertake an Otology fellowship, we have tried to streamline the resources in one place so that it is not so
overwhelming.
This is a work in progress and we would welcome any additions/updates to this list.
If you or anyone you know has been on these fellowships, reviews would be greatly appreciated for future trainees- this is an area of this
resource we would like to grow.
