MESSAGE FROM THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT Dr. Peter Spafford, Saskatoon, SK

The 70th Annual Canadian Society of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery

meeting kicked off with delicious welcoming treats at the airport and street banners welcoming our delegates, all courtesy of PEI Tourism. The meeting was “lobster cage packed” with practical workshops and highly scientific sessions. Our sincerest thanks go to Dr. Brian Rotenberg for putting together an excellent program in his first year as Scientific Program Chair. The theme “Patient First Collaborative Care – The Role of the General Otolaryngologist-Head & Neck Surgeon” resonated throughout all of the sessions. The four international guest speakers eagerly participated in three sessions each, disseminating practical OTO-HNS content consistent with the theme. Behind the scenes, there were further measurable advancements in OTO-HNS patient care, education, research, and advocacy carried out by our numerous dedicated committees, sub-committees and special interest groups.

Despite a “small venue” destination, Charlottetown attendance was 357 delegates, 60 spouses and 24 children. Sponsorship was record high – 6 platinum, 2 gold, 7 silver, and 35 exhibiting companies occupying 46 booth spaces. We are thankful and respectful of their ongoing support and relationships.

Thank you to all of the organizers, local arrangements, Mark and Tammy Taylor, Donna Humphrey and her team, and council. I couldn’t get enough lobster and fiddlers myself. After the meeting, more than one of the guest speakers complimented us on how lucky we are to have such as friendly and collegial society.

70th Annual Meeting Awards cont…

2016 Award for Educational Excellence This award is presented to an individual who has made a significant impact in the area of medical education at a national and/or international level. We are proud to announce that for 2016 two members were chosen for this honour, Dr. Kevin Fung, University of Western Ontario and Dr. Hadi Seikaly, University of Alberta. Congratulations and thank you for your dedication to teaching! For more information about next year’s awards, please go to the Society’s website at http://www.entcanada.org/fellowships-awards/awards-grants/ .

MESSAGE FROM THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM CHAIR Dr. Brian Rotenberg, London, ON The 70th CSO annual meeting in PEI was a huge success. With an excellent attendance, surrounded by the beautiful Prince Edward Island scenery, attendees were exposed to the breadth and depth of what Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery has to offer. Focusing on the role of the General Otolaryngologist-Head & Neck Surgeon in collaborative care, we had a series of three concurrent sessions of workshops and podium presentations that covered a huge range of material both surgical and non-surgical.

The program was headlined by four superb guest speakers including Dr. Dennis Poe, Dr. Abel-Jan Tasman, Dr. Mark Urken and Dr. Claudio Vicinic, all world experts in their fields. Attendees who were able to come early also had a chance to take part in a series of pre-convention courses on airway simulation, Coblation dissection, and the new thyroid guidelines. We also began an innovative new tradition of live debates on contentious and thought provoking topics, with the inaugural debates being on the issue of OtoHNS sub specialization, and the matter of whether or not we are training too many residents in this country....some might be glad the poll results weren't binding to the Society!

Planning is already underway for next year - if you have a suggestion for a debate topic, please send the Society an email. Thank you to all speaker and all attendees, it was your energy that make the meeting a success.

CPD Tip from the CPD Chair Dr. Gigi Osler, Winnipeg MB Do you:

Want an easy way to earn more Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits?

Want to triple your MOC credits when you attend an accredited meeting?

Want to earn MOC credits when you attend non-accredited meetings? Develop a Personal Learning Project (PLP). A PLP is a learning activity that you create to address a question, need, or goal relevant to your professional practice. PLPs are a great way to maximize your learning and earn you 2 credits / hour in Section 2. If you develop a PLP at an accredited meeting then these Section 2 credits are in addition to the meeting’s Section 1 credits.

We have developed an easy way for you to create a PLP and earn Section 2 credits. PLPs can be used at both accredited and non-accredited group learning activities (for example at a pharmaceutical dinner or satellite symposium). You can also create PLPs to answer any learning question, at any time, not just at meetings.

Here is a 6-step process for developing your PLP for use at a meeting:

1. Download the PLP template from the CSO-HNS website. It is available in both French and English. (PLP template link)

2. What do you want to learn? Identify your question.

5

5 Summer 2016 – Issue 22

3. Develop a learning plan. Review the learning objectives for the meeting and any reading material.

4. At the meeting, learn with intent and keep your question in mind. Discuss your question informally with your colleagues.

5. After the meeting, reflect on your question:

a. What did you learn? b. What additional learning will you do? c. Will you make a change in your practice?

6. Use the template to document your PLP in MAINPORT.

Your CPD Committee will continue to find ways for you to maximize your learning and MOC credits. Please email me [email protected] with any questions, ideas, suggestions or comments. Have a great summer!
