Expert Series. Expert Series are sessions led by recognized experts on current diagnostic approaches, therapeutic approaches, and practice management topics.

Great Debates. The AMPC education track leaders have collaborated with the AAO-HNSF Education Committees and associated subspecialty societies to identify contentious issues deserving of our collective focus and deliberation as well as prominent thought leaders who can push these discussions forward via structured debate.

International Symposium. International symposia are panel discussions featuring expert international panelists (i.e., from outside the United States) involving interactive, in-depth, state-of-the-art presentations employing a variety of didactic and interactive education formats.

Lunch with the Experts. Engage in peer exchange and discussion on focused clinical and professional topics with recognized leaders from throughout the field in an intimate atmosphere.

Master of Surgery Video Presentations. Demonstration videos of key surgical procedures performed by otolaryngologist–head and neck surgeons. Each presentation concludes with two minutes of audience questions and answers.

Meet the Scientific Poster Authors. Earn CME credit while learning about the latest advancements in research directly from the sources. Ask questions and share experiences with the poster presenters in a truly interactive session.

Panel Presentations. These discussion sessions are presented by panelists involving interactive, in-depth, state-of- the-art presentations on controversial topics with a variety of viewpoints.

Rapid Poster Presentations. This presentation format showcases the highly ranked poster submissions in each subspecialty, giving the selected poster presenters the opportunity to provide a focused oral summary with a limited set of slides highlighting and describing the major influence of their research. The presentations take place during the lunch hour in the Poster Pavilion.

Scientific Oral Presentations. A series of three- to six-minute presentations focusing on current evidence-based research, surgical procedures, and approaches in the clinical sciences and their application to patient care. Each presentation concludes with two minutes of audience questions and answers.

Scientific Posters. Visual displays detailing the latest advancements in otolaryngology research that allow the viewers the opportunity to appraise and assimilate scientific evidence for improved patient care practices. Poster authors are at their boards during specific times on Monday and Tuesday to discuss their findings.

Simulation Presentations. These are education presentations with simulation tools at the core. Unlike other educational adjuncts such as “audience response,” the simulation tools will be integral to the conception and structure of the presentation.
