ENT Clinic
Our goal is to provide accessible and affordable ear, nose, and throat (ENT) care services to those in need within the Champaign-Urbana community, with a focus on historically underserved and marginalized groups. We aim to address the significant need for ENT services and promote health in hearing and balance, recognizing the impact of ENT disorders on overall well-being.
Our clinic offers students interested in otolaryngology an opportunity to familiarize themselves with common conditions in a clinic setting. Clinic volunteers are responsible for obtaining health histories, presenting cases to the provider, and documenting visits in the patient’s medical record. Volunteering provides an avenue for future students interested in otolaryngology a way to give back to the community doing something they are passionate about.
