Engage Online

Ready to start engaging with the Academy right now? There are several ways to get started from the comfort of your home or office or on the go using your mobile device.

Advance Clinical Otolaryngology

Share your expertise with a global audience by submitting an article for publication consideration to Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, the Foundation’s flagship journal, or OTO Open, the Foundation’s open access journal. Also, apply to be a peer reviewer for the journals. The peer review process is essential to the development of research and is a great way to get involved with the Academy.

Participate on a Committee

The Academy flourishes and succeeds from the contributions of its members. Serving on a committee provides the chance to collaborate, build your professional network, stay on the cutting edge of research and issues affecting the body of medicine, and earn honor points. The annual committee application cycle runs from November-January.

Get Involved with Your Section

Strengthen your network through the Academy’s three sections: Section for Residents and Fellows-in-Training (SRF), Women in Otolaryngology (WIO), and the Young Physicians Section (YPS).

Represent Your State/National Society on the BOG

The Board of Governors (BOG) is made up of local, state, regional, and national otolaryngology-head and neck surgery societies from around the U.S. and Canada and serves as an important avenue of communication with the Board of Directors.

Be an Advocate

In today’s regulatory and legislative climate, it’s vital for U.S. otolaryngologists to use their clinical expertise to advocate on behalf of the specialty. The AAO-HNS provides numerous opportunities for members to influence federal and state healthcare policies, communicate with elected officials, and advocate for your patients.
