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.

Education Faculties/Committees
Most Academy membership categories are eligible for faculty/committee membership, and all others may be appointed as nonvoting consultants to the committees. If you have expertise in a particular field, time to commit to committee business, and an email address that you use daily, then you are invited to apply. Visit our Education Committee Page to learn more!
