The Foundation has just published a new and exciting education resource. It is called the Annual Meeting Expert Series. This series of online courses can be accessed through www.academyu.org.

The Expert Series includes 19 complete video recordings of select Annual Meeting sessions. Sonya Malekzadeh, MD, and Richard V. Smith, MD, coordinators for Education, chose these sessions based on critical and timely topics of great relevance to AAO-HNS Members that were presented by key leaders in the field.

In addition to the video recordings, seven of the sessions were selected for a special Expert Interview following their talks conducted by Foundation Education leaders:

Evidence-based Approach to Treating Oral Cavity Cancer, 2015 Update

Neil D. Gross, MD, and Dennis H. Kraus, MD

Discussing HPV-Head and Neck Cancer: Diagnosis and Beyond

Carole Fakhry, MD, MPH, and Christine G. Gourin, MD

Controversies in Parotid Surgery: Is There Evidence?

Richard V. Smith, MD

Persistent OSA: An Evidence-based Approach to Treatment

Norman R. Friedman, MD

Current Treatment of Lymphatic Malformations

Charles A. Hughes, MD, MBA, MPH

AAO-HNSF CPG Adult Sinusitis Update

Richard M. Rosenfeld, MD, MPH

State of the Art: Drug-induced Sedated Endoscopy for OSA

Tucker Woodson, MD

Many of the sessions incorporated audience response into the presentations. This feature has been added to the online courses, making them just as interactive for the viewers as the live sessions. Both the session recordings and the interviews offer CME credit upon successful completion of a post-test.

Also being published this month are seven newly video-recorded Clinical Fundamentals talks and seven Specialty-specific Review Courses—both great resources for certification and recertification. The Clinical Fundamentals online lectures are still a requirement for recertification and, unlike in the past, these are full video recordings. They are also now available free to Members. The Review Courses have been held for the past few years at the Annual Meeting & OTO EXPOSM but this is the first time they have been video recorded and made available in AcademyU®.
