Further education and training: HNO-App

Professor Lüers, University ENT Clinic Cologne, developed the HNO-App, in March 2020 with the scientific support of the DGHNO-KHC and the ENT Academy, which was initially published as an ENT quiz app.

The ENT app contains more than 2,000 quiz questions from the field of ENT medicine (e.g. in the categories of allergology, rhinology, salivary glands & facial nerve, vestibular and many more). This concept, also known as "gamification", allows ENT residents to deepen their knowledge in a fun way - ideal for preparing for the specialist examination!

In addition, the app's functions and offerings are continuously being optimized: In addition to news, media library, job exchange, event calendar and webinars, CME-certified further education and training courses are now also offered via the app. For more information (including QR codes to download the app), please follow this link.
