IVS Outlined WideThe AAO-HNSF awards scholarships annually through the IVS Program aiding junior academics from lower-resourced countries to attend the AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience and participate in an academic observership at a U.S. otolaryngology department or institution. 

Although COVID-19 restrictions at U.S. institutions and visa processing delays have impacted the program, in 2022 the Academy pushed the program forward and awarded nine IVS scholarships to recipients from eight countries.

The 2023 IVS program launches in early 2023. With more U.S. institutions lessening pandemic-related restrictions and beginning to reengage with observership opportunities, the IVS program is slated to grow in the year ahead.
