About Us
The Foundation’s educational initiatives are aimed at increasing the quality of patient outcomes through knowledgeable, competent, and professional physicians. The goals of education are to provide activities and services for:

• CME and professional education – the otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon.
• Physicians-in-training – the resident.
• The non-otolaryngologist - other health professionals, and office staff.

We provide the knowledge base that supports physician education for the specialty.
