Value-Based Compensation model can be considered advantageous because it evens the playing field between proceduralists and non-proceduralists, but defining value and implementing VBC can be challenging.
New standardized otolaryngology curriculum’s goal is to deliver a comprehensive and appropriately detailed curriculum that will help direct self-learning and serve as a jumping-off point for residency programs’ didactic learning.
A successful thesis advances medical knowledge in our specialty in a meaningful way. It is not an obstacle; it is an opportunity to clearly state who we are as academic difference-makers, an opportunity to rigorously acknowledge from where we came while exalting where we may go, an opportunity to join a society of like-minded souls and allow them to rejoice in our efforts.
