Continuing Medical Education (CME) Mission Statement
As a result of participation in ARS CME activities, learners are expected to:
- Understand and discuss the current evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of disorders that affect the nose and the sinuses such as chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal airway obstruction, smell loss, and benign and malignant tumors.
- Discuss the medical and surgical management of recurrent acute and chronic rhinosinusitis through research presentations, debates, and panel discussions.
- Improve surgical techniques and approaches of our attendees with cadaveric prosections and review of recorded surgical cases.
- Improve the understanding of our members that social determinants of health are important variables that affect our patients’ access to care and their outcomes and that these disparities affect not limited medical practitioners but all practitioners caring for patients of diverse backgrounds and means.
- Improve healthcare quality through our oral and poster presentations of cutting-edge research and by incorporating direct member/attendee and speaker involvement through question and answer sessions.
- Assess and explore how we evaluate successful outcomes in skull base surgery and other extended endoscopic approaches through the interaction of rhinologists, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons.
- Identify state of the art research and research gaps in the field of chronic rhinosinusitis and other rhinologic conditions through multidisciplinary efforts.
- Understand and appreciate that matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical to facilitating collaborative partnerships among practitioners
- Bring to light controversial topics, such as empty nose syndrome, that require multidisciplinary understanding.
