Virtual

Program Overview

This webinar was recorded on October 24, 2025. The recording will be available soon.

The 2025 Otolaryngology Update is a dynamic, virtual CME event designed to provide clinicians with practical insights and interdisciplinary updates across key subspecialties in otolaryngology. Through expert-led panel discussions and focused presentations, the course will explore evolving practices in rhinology, head & neck oncology, otology, general otolaryngology, laryngology, facial plastics, and pediatric ENT. Emphasis will be placed on real-world clinical challenges, diagnostic approaches, procedural innovations, and collaborative care models to improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

Identify diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for common and complex conditions in rhinology, otology, laryngology, and head & neck oncology, including the integration of genetic testing and office-based procedures.
Understand evidence-based approaches to managing ENT emergencies and subspecialty-specific challenges such as vestibular disorders, vocal fold leukoplakia, and pediatric airway cases.
Discuss interdisciplinary collaboration by engaging in case-based discussions and understanding advancements in facial plastics, sleep endoscopy, and personalized treatment planning across the continuum of otolaryngologic care.

Target Audience

This program has been designed for residents, fellows, general otolaryngologists, and subspecialists in rhinology, otology, laryngology, head and neck surgery, facial plastics, and pediatric ENT. Primary care providers and other healthcare professionals involved in the multidisciplinary care of patients with ENT-related conditions may also find value in attending.
