Otolaryngologist as a Political Leader?
1Hofstra University Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine; Quinnipiac University Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine; Yale University School of Medicine.
Abstract:
Otolaryngologists are in a good position to advocate for our patients and our specialty. We can do it as a volunteer or as a full-time job running for political office at the state or federal level. To be taken seriously, we need to offer solutions besides citing the problems. We encourage otolaryngologists to work with our Academy and its ENT-PAC (Ear, Nose, Throat Political Action Committee). Medicine is a great profession and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery is an even better specialty.
