AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting: Presenters

AAO-HNSF’s 2009 Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO program offers otolaryngologists and other interested health professionals a series of unique and dynamic educational experiences designed to broaden and enrich their understanding of otolaryngology – head and neck surgery and to provide a foundation for continued learning. The Annual Meeting’s program format, including Scientific sessions, instruction courses, mini-courses, and posters, will help participants maintain a continued awareness of accepted methods of diagnosis and treatment and will provide updates on new developments in the field.

The formerly named Translational & Basic Research Program and Scientific (Clinical Research) Program have been working together to better integrate the programming to represent the full continuum from basic science research through translational research and clinical practice. To that end, the combined programs will now be solely referred to as the Scientific Program.

The Scientific Program of the annual meeting is comprised of scientific sessions, miniseminars and scientific poster presentations.

Orals
A series of eight-minute oral presentations in cutting-edge clinical and translational basic research aspects of otolaryngology.
