Abstract
Introduction and objective

Otolaryngology is a branch of medicine of great importance for doctors working in general practice. The goal of this paper is to analyze the otolaryngology syllabuses of the medical schools in Spain.

At all the schools consulted, otolaryngology is a core subject, in most of them a single semester course. In most cases it is taught in the 4th or 5th year (92.6%). Undergraduate teaching in otolaryngology consists of about 30 lectures. The time available for practical teaching varies greatly between 20 and 60 hours.
