Education Committee
The members of the education committee come from all fields of otolaryngology and from all regions of YO-IFOS. They are all united by the desire to facilitate acquisition of both knowledge and technical skills by young otolaryngologists around the world. Working together with other YO-IFOS committees and with the corresponding IFOS education committee is crucial to the success of this committee
The education committee will direct efforts towards three main fields:
- Continuous Medical Education: developing teaching materials which will make information readily available by means of an open access format. The first project in this field will be an online basic science textbook. International guidelines, e-learning, and other databases will follow.
- International Exchange Programs: creating of an online platform which will help young otolaryngologists find opportunities for either a fellowship or a shorter observership outside their country.
- Instructional Courses: aiming for the higher participation of young otolaryngologists in courses which are fundamental to their training (temporal bone, endoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, etc.). Special emphasis will be put on encouraging young otolaryngologists from countries where these courses are not readily available.
