Candidates should apply for the part 2 at the College from which they wish to be awarded the diploma. Although the examination will be held at on a rotational basis at different college locations on each date, all colleges will be accepting applications for each date.

All documentation including regulations can be accessed from the DO-HNS section of the intercollegiate exams website.

The purpose of the DO-HNS exam is to test the breadth and knowledge, the clinical and communications skills and the professional attributes considered appropriate by the College for a doctor intending to undertake practice within an otolaryngology department in a non-consultant career grade or trainee position.

It is also intended to provide a test for those who wish to practise within another medical specialty, but who have an interest in the aspects of where that specialty interacts with the field of otolaryngology.
