Examination, one of the pathways listed below must be followed:
Standard Pathway

Board of Otolaryngology.
Must successfully complete a neurotology fellowship
training program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME).
Alternate Pathway

Board of Otolaryngology.
The applicant must have at least seven (7) years
of clinical practice experience in neurotology.
The applicant must demonstrate that he/she has
participated in at least ten (10) cases of intracranial exposures
(i.e., translabyrinthine, middle cranial fossa, infratemporal
