Message from the Vice Presidents Welcome to Coronado! Thank you for attending our Combined Sections Meeting. It has been a pleasure to serve the membership as Section Vice Presidents this year and we are very proud of the outstanding program that has been assembled by our Program Chair, Dr. Mark Persky, and our Program Committee. The always popular “How I Do It” session is scheduled on Thursday as well as panels on Surgical Salvage Treatment of Recurrent H&N Tumors: Surgical/Ethical Dilemma and Managing Complications of Chronic Ear Disease. General and concurrent sessions on head and neck and otology are followed by the “Great Debate”, and “What’s the Latest and Greatest” sessions. Thursday evening, immediately following the scientific sessions, is an opportunity to socialize and network at the Vice Presidents’ Welcome Reception. Four concurrent sessions will be held on Friday morning which will include facial plastic/reconstructive surgery, head and neck, sleep medicine, general otolaryngology, laryngology and rhinology. Panel topics include Management of Soft Tissue and Bony Facial Trauma, Responders vs Non-responders in OSA: Is It all About the Tongue?, Treatment of Vocal Fold Paralysis, and Lessons Learned During My Career in Rhinology. Friday afternoon activities include the Resident Bowl which has a new twist this year as all the teams have been asked to dress as their school mascots! Come and cheer for your favorite team and see if you are as smart as the residents. The Thesis Seminar for candidates and prospective candidates will be given by Drs. Maureen Hannley and Dana Thompson. The American Society of Geriatric Otolaryngology will hold a scientific session on Friday afternoon. On Saturday we will have concurrent sessions on pediatric otolaryngology, otology, general ENT, and head and neck including panels on Avoiding Pitfalls of Parathyroid Surgery, Preparing for Practice: Is Fee for Service Dying?, Management of Pediatric “Sinusitis”, and Management Options for SNHL. Of interest to all attendees will be “Is Subspecialization Challenging or Strengthening Otolaryngology?” and “What We Want and Need from our Faculty/Residents” with viewpoints presented by both faculty and residents.
