About The Section for Residents and Fellows

About the Section for Residents and Fellows-in-Training

The Section for Residents and Fellows-in-Training also known as the "Section" was created in 2000 to get residents involved in Academy initiatives. The Section was born out of the Committee of Residents in Training, which had been in existence for over 5 years. Residents have been given a vote on the Board of Governors and a representative on the AAO-HNS Board of Directors. All residents and fellows-in-training who are members of the Academy are automatically members of the Section.

The Section is governed by five Governing Council members and a group of appointed officers:
