The Academy looks forward to welcoming newly matched residents to the specialty on Match Day 2024: March 15! Tell us why you’re proud to be an ENT, why you love the specialty, what drew you to otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, or your Match Day memories by sharing your stories, photos, and videos on social media using #IAMOTO and tagging @aaohns on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube.

Program Directors: Help the Academy showcase the new faces of the specialty! Invite your new and current OTO matches to send a photo or short video on or leading up to Match Day sharing why matching otolaryngology is important to them.
