The 2010 combined Virginia Society of Otolaryngology -Head & Neck Surgery Annual Meeting and University of Virginia Fitz-Hugh Symposium to be held April 22 - 24, 2010 at the Charlottesville Omni in Charlottesville, Virginia. Please join us for an outstanding educational program.

This year’s theme, Office-based Otolaryngology: What You Need to Know, will highlight office-based laryngology with Dr. Peak Woo of New York, allergy and rhinology with Dr. Bradley Marple of Texas, and office-based facial plastic surgery with Dr. Tom Wang of Oregon. If you have ever thought of starting an allergy practice in your Otolaryngology office, or tried basic facial plastic surgical procedures, now is the time to come and learn from the experts. This CME approved event will also serve as an opportunity to meet other Otolaryngologists from around the state, and provide an update on legislative and practice issues that affect all of us.

I invite all members to submit abstracts to be considered for inclusion in the scientific program. Abstracts for papers for the 2010 program must be submitted by January 18, 2010. Please include the following information: Title, Author(s), Name of Presenter, Presentation Format, and contact information of the person submitting the abstract and of the presenter. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should include the following sections: Objectives, Materials and Methods, Results, and Conclusions. All abstracts must be submitted electronically to Jane Davis, Society Manager, at jdavis@ramdocs.org. You will receive confirmation of receipt of your abstract after it is submitted. If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours, please contact Ms. Davis via email or by phone at 804/622-8135.

I ask the academic Department Chairs to encourage their residents to participate in the meeting and to submit abstracts by the January 18 deadline. An abstract may be accepted for inclusion in the scientific program as either an oral or poster presentation. Two resident awards will be given out based on oral presentations and one award will be given out based on the poster presentation.

We have reserved a block of rooms for meeting attendees, which will expire on April 8, 2010. To ensure that you get the room that best accommodates your needs, please call the Omni at 434/971-5500. Be sure to ask for the VSO/Fitz-Hugh discounted room rate!

Mark your calendars for April 22 - 24, 2010 to join fellow otolaryngologists for a superb educational program. Further details will be available soon.
