62ndANNUAL MEETING

FairmontJasperPark Lodge, JASPER, AB

OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This meeting offers our delegates the unique opportunity to learn from experts and share their own professional experience in various areas of otolaryngology-head & neck surgery. Participants are also encouraged and challenged to expand their knowledge and ideas beyond the boundaries of health care.

The overall objective of this meeting is to provide community and academic otolaryngologists with relevant and up-to-date information in all otolaryngology sub-specialty areas.

Upon completion of this CME activity, the otolaryngologist should be able to acquire the current approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive management of common otolaryngological conditions in the fields of pediatric, laryngology, head and neck cancer, rhinology and facial plastics.

Participants will be cognizant of the latest research undertaken across Canadian universities.

Participants will identify common post-operative complications and learn technical aspects to avoid or minimize such complications.
