ISSUE 31 CANADIAN SOCIETY OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY-HEAD …entcanada.org/news/Fall2009Newsletter.pdf ·...

It’s difficult to believe that another summer has passed and that we are well into the fall season. Once again I would like to thank the Halifax team for putting on an excellent meeting last May. The President (Dr. Dorion), the Scientific Program Chair (Dr. Tan), the Local Arrangements Chair (Dr. Bance) and our Executive Director (Ms. Humphrey) worked very hard to put together a first class scientific and social program. Attendance at the meeting was excellent and the feedback we’ve received on all aspects of the program has been very positive. As I look forward to the 2010 meeting in Niagara Falls I’m confident that this event will also be a great scientific and social success. My local arrangements chair, Dr. Len Makerewich, has been working tirelessly to seek out and lock down the best venues for our group to meet in. Our theme for 2010 is “Technology Transforming Patient Care” and we will try to highlight some interesting aspects of technology and how it impacts our work in the clinic and operating room. Our confirmed guest speakers include Dr. Douglas Chepeha (head and neck oncology) and Dr. Ross Mitchell (physicist – medical imaging). I’m pleased to announce that our guest of honour will be Dr. Julian Nedzelski. The welcoming reception has been booked at Elements‐on‐the‐Falls Restaurant which has a spectacular view of the Horseshoe Falls. In addition, we will be hosting a fundraising event for the COHNS Fund on the Monday evening at the Inniskillin Winery. Among the highlights will be celebrity chefs Anna and Michael Olson showing off their skills while we enjoy local wine and food. The format of this year’s meeting was different than the past. The official opening on Sunday morning was well‐attended and we also had record attendance at the Poliquin Residents’ Competition on Monday afternoon. Therefore, we have decided to stay with the same format for 2010. Dr. Tan will work his usual magic interweaving workshops, oral presentations and posters. The hard work of our CPD Chair, Dr. Sam Daniel, has enabled us to offer a fully‐accredited program that will allow you to maximize your CPD credits. I would also like to report that the Society, along with the University of Calgary and the University of Western Ontario, will be hosting a retreat for our newly formed Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery Undergraduate Education Working Group. This group is something I’m very excited about and I’m very pleased that our Society is nurturing its development with significant financial and administrative support. Dr. Kevin Fung is chairing this group and he will be presenting the results of their work at the 2010 Niagara Falls meeting.

President’s Message... continued from page 1

Another very positive development is the recent news that the Journal of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery’s impact factor has increased to .758 from its prior level of .497. This is a major achievement and clearly validates the hard work and strategic direction being implemented by our co‐editors, Drs. Seikaly and Wright. If we can continue to support the Journal by sending it our best work and by using some of the approaches outlined by the editors at the Halifax meeting, we will continue to see the quality of this publication continue to increase in the years ahead. Our new electronic media editor, Dr. Jason Franklin, has approached his job with enthusiasm and skill. The web site, already improved, will continue to change in the years ahead as Jason brings some of his ideas to the site. Please remember to check it out at www.entcanada.org. Finally, it almost seems traditional to report on the long‐standing issues with the ABO. I will break with tradition and indicate that I have nothing new to report on this subject. In closing, I want to thank you all for allowing me to serve as your President. It is a job I accepted with humility and enthusiasm. Our Society is one that is based on strong social, professional and scientific bonds. We are small, but not too small and as such, we continue to be able to get together, share new knowledge, enjoy each others company and trade interesting stories from the preceding year. For the younger members of our group, and for the “older” members who have thought about getting involved: step up. The CSOHNS is always looking for new blood and I can only say that working for this Society has been one of the most personally and professionally satisfying things I’ve ever done.

Joseph C. Dort, MD

President

“Our Society is one that is based on strong

social, professional and scientific bonds.”

Our sincerest appreciation is extended to council and committee members who have completed their terms of office this past May. Without the help of all our volunteers, the Society could not function!

Dr. Dominique Dorion (President) Dr. Robert Rae (Immediate Past President) Dr. Robert Burke (Secretary) Dr. Jeff Harris (Representative for Alberta) Dr. Rob Hekkenberg (Representative for Ontario) Dr. Richard Gall (Representative for Manitoba) Dr. Harvey Strecker (Representative for British Columbia) Dr. Manohar Bance (2009 Local Arrangements Chair) Dr. Jacques Leclerc (International Liaison) Dr. Martin Desrosiers (Practice Guidelines Chair)

Thank-you for Your Time …
