Objective/Hypothesis To apply the domains of clinical excellence, as published by the Miller‐Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence, to the field of otolaryngology‐head and neck surgery (OHNS) as a framework for evaluating and improving clinical excellence. Methods A search of PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) databases was performed and 229 publications were reviewed. Results Case reports and other articles were selected that exemplify each of the distinct domains of clinical excellence within our specialty. Conclusions The Miller‐Coulson Academy's domains of clinical excellence are relevant to OHNS and can provide a framework for fostering clinical excellence in otolaryngologists. The many examples of excellent care by otolaryngologists found in the published literature can inspire otolaryngologists to provide outstanding care to all patients consistently and to advance our specialty.
