9th International Otolaryngology Underwater Update Course

Tuesday, October 24, 2023, 6:15 AM - Friday, October 27, 2023, 6:30 PM, Montego Bay, Jamaica

"Otolaryngology Underwater" is back! The 9th International Otolaryngology Underwater Update Course is an incredible 4-day course, previously directed by Drs. David Kennedy and Bert O’Malley, now directed by Dr. Greg Davis along with a tremendous program committee including Drs. Michael Hoffer, Jeff Houlton, Ken Kazahaya, and Elina Toskala. We have recruited leaders in the field to serve as faculty and to present engaging and entertaining educational content.

This ACCME accredited program is intended for otolaryngologists interested in the entire spectrum of topics in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.  The course provides an update of recent advances in rhinology, head and neck cancer, pediatric otolaryngology, rhinoplasty, facial plastic surgery, imaging, allergy, and obstructive sleep apnea.  The program includes thought provoking panel discussions on difficult cases and highlights solutions to the controversies we face in otolaryngology.  In addition, Dr. Jim Chimiak from the Divers Alert Network will be presenting a must-see talk on “What Every ENT Should Know To Protect and Treat Divers”.

The educational content of the course runs in the early morning and late afternoon hours, leaving time to enjoy the wonders of Jamaica including scuba diving, golfing, and all other beach activities.

This conference will take place at Half Moon, Jamaica.  To book your hotel stay, click the hotel tab above.  Please note the cut-off date to book your hotel stay is September 23.
