AAO-HNSF Pre-Conference Workshop Worst Case Scenarios: Managing OTO Emergencies in Practice

Friday, September 27, 12:00 – 5:00 pm (ET)

University of Miami – Simulation Hospital Advancing Research & Education (S.H.A.R.E)

REGISTRATION FEES

Physician: Early Fee: $450 | Regular Fee: $575

Residents: Early Fee: $300 | Residents: Regular Fee: $300

This is a 4.5-hour course geared toward practicing otolaryngologists to prepare them for low frequency, high stakes emergency situations that they may not encounter often in their daily routine. Attendees will participate in a rotation of six simulated otolaryngology emergencies with a cohort of six peer attendees. Each simulated emergency will be done as a duo with a partner from the group. Following each simulation, a debriefing will be held with the group and a facilitator and will include discussion of best practices for these situations based on published guidelines and available literature. The group members will share their own personal experiences as part of the debrief to learn from each other.

The workshop will be held at the University of Miami – Simulation Hospital Advancing Research & Education (S.H.A.R.E). To learn more, visit https://share.sonhs.miami.edu.

Registration fee includes the workshop offering CME/MOC credit, transportation, and lunch.

The workshop has limited capacity to accommodate 40 practicing otolaryngologists and residents. We encourage you to register early to reserve your spot!
