Inside this resource
Rhinology, Sinus Surgery, and CRS Endotypes
Friday opens with Benjamin Bleier on COVID-19 aerosol-generating procedures in the ENT clinic, followed by Neil Bhattacharyya on surgical anatomy of the sinuses and Hillary Kelly on sinus imaging. George Scangas addresses CRS pathogenesis and the role of biologics, while Stacey Gray covers benign sinonasal neoplasms and Ralph Metson presents ESS complication management. A challenging FESS cases panel features Stacey Gray, Eric Holbrook, George Scangas, Alessandro Varini, and Alice Maxfield.
Otology, Pediatrics, and Laryngology
Saturday covers Meniere’s disease (Matthew Crowson), sudden sensorineural hearing loss (Elliott Kozin), stapedectomy (Alicia Quesnel), chronic otitis media (David Jung), ossicular reconstruction (Daniel Lee), and eustachian tube dilation (Dennis Poe). Pediatric sessions address congenital hearing loss (Margaret Kenna), otitis media (Leila Mankarious), neck masses (Andrew Scott), airway management (Gillian Diercks), and pediatric OSA (Donald Keamy). Laryngology includes benign laryngeal lesions (Phillip Song) and voice evaluation (Glenn Bunting).
Head and Neck Oncology and Thyroid Surgery
Sunday focuses on head and neck cancer with sessions on PET imaging (MaryBeth Cunnane), unknown primary workup (Jeremy Richmon), neck management (Derrick Lin), parotidectomy (Daniel Deschler), and oral cancer margin management (Mark Varvares). Thyroid and parathyroid sessions cover hyperparathyroidism (Leslie Eldeiry), thyroid nodule workup (Paul Konowitz), recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring (Greg Randolph and Marika Russell), and papillary thyroid carcinoma (Peter Sadow).
Sleep Medicine and Facial Plastics
Noah Siegel presents the otolaryngologist work-up of sleep-disordered breathing, B Tucker Woodson covers soft palate surgery for OSA, and Phillip Huyett provides a 2023 update on upper airway stimulation. Robin Lindsay addresses functional rhinoplasty and nasal valve surgery, while Linda Lee presents hair transplant and PRP evidence-based essentials.

Sarah K. –
Harvard faculty delivered exceptional content across all three days. The rhinology and CRS biologics sessions were directly applicable to my practice. Best ENT course I’ve taken online.
Priya N. –
Solid course overall but the video recording quality varied between rooms. Some slides were hard to read in the recorded format. The faculty expertise made up for the production limitations.
M. Alvarez –
Very comprehensive coverage. The pediatric block on Saturday was particularly strong. Some sessions felt rushed due to the tight schedule, but the clinical content was outstanding.
James L. –
Great breadth of topics. The sleep medicine and facial plastics sessions on Friday were excellent. Would have liked more time on otology but what was covered was thorough.

The head and neck oncology sessions on Sunday were superb. Greg Randolph’s thyroid surgery pearls alone were worth the price. Highly recommend for anyone preparing for boards or seeking a thorough update.
