Humanitarian Efforts

Thanks to the great success of our Humanitarian booth last year, this year we will again highlight many opportunities to volunteer at home or overseas, illustrating many ways to "give back." A dedicated team of Academy members and residents will be on hand to greet visitors and discuss tips and pointers on medical missions.

With more than 60 organizations taking teams to all five continents, there is bound to be a mission to suit most needs. In addition to multi-specialty teams, there are specialized missions for otology, plastic reconstructive surgery, head and neck cancer and thyroid, and general otolaryngology. If you plan to go on a mission, there will be a limited supply of Academy educational materials at our booth.

Please stop by to sign our visitors' book with details of your mission. To sign up as a booth volunteer or to learn more, email humanitarian@entnet.org.

Internet Stations

Internet stations will be conveniently located in the registration area and in the poster area of the San Diego Convention Center. Attendees will be able to access the internet and complete their Instruction Course and Scientific Program evaluations. At the end of the meeting, print out your Instruction Course and Scientific Program summary for an unofficial count of your credits. For physician attendees, official transcripts will be mailed in January 2010. You can also enter evaluations from your own computer, online at www.entnet.org/annual_meeting up to 30 days following the conference.
