Pediatric Otolaryngology ACGME case minimums
Fellows in Pediatric Otolaryngology have a published ACGME minimum in all 7 case categories, and the largest single minimum is 50. Each row below cites the ACGME requirement it was read from.

Pediatric Otolaryngology minimums by category
| Category | Fellow Assistant Surgeon | Fellow Surgeon + Fellow Supervisor (combined credited role) |
|---|---|---|
| Congenital Anomalies Domain | — | 20 |
| Head and Neck Surgery Domain | — | 20 |
| Otology Domain | — | 30 |
| Airway Procedure Domain | — | 15 |
| Endoscopy with Intervention Domain | — | 50 |
| Rhinology Domain | — | 40 |
| Facial Plastics Domain | — | 10 |
An em-dash means the ACGME publishes no minimum on that row — not a minimum of zero.
Pediatric Otolaryngology · ACGME specialty 288.
Capnolog counts these live for anesthesiology and neurological surgery; other specialties are reference only.
What counts toward a minimum?
- The ACGME tracks key indicator procedures for Pediatric Otolaryngology: the minimums apply to those procedures, not to every case logged.
- Every number is a count in one column, “Fellow Surgeon + Fellow Supervisor (combined credited role)”.
- The Review Committee for Otolaryngology sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
Capnolog is independent of the ACGME; where a number here differs from the ACGME's own document, the document is right.
