An audit of these patients visiting with ENT related disorders will help us to evaluate the frequency, type and presentation of common ENT disorders.

Materials and method: A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun from 1st October�2019 to 31st March�2020. The records were evaluated and the patients were grouped depending upon the age, sex and clinical diagnosis.

Conclusion: An audit of ENT disorders will help us train rural health care workers and make a curriculum for medical graduates stressing more on common ENT disorders.
