The YO-IFOS group aims to enhance the connectivity between young otolaryngologists. The exchange of information and ideas will be fostered and this networking aspect of YO-IFOS will naturally link to the research, education and congress-based aspects of its work.

YO-IFOS has an excellent starting platform; members have a common interest in ENT and are likely to share a similar life and career stage. The two aspects of networking – professional and social – are often linked. It is our vision that YO- IFOS networking will include the development of quality relationships between individuals and centres and it is hoped that we can take advantage of new technologies to communicate and network. The international mobility of young otolaryngologists will also be promoted to enable clinical, academic and research visits and exchanges.
