SCIENTIFIC
PROGRAM
62nd ANNUAL MEETING
Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, JASPER, AB
OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This meeting offers our delegates the unique opportunity to learn from experts and share their own
professional experience in various areas of otolaryngology-head & neck surgery. Participants are also
encouraged and challenged to expand their knowledge and ideas beyond the boundaries of health care.
The overall objective of this meeting is to provide community and academic otolaryngologists with
relevant and up-to-date information in all otolaryngology sub-specialty areas.
Upon completion of this CME activity, the otolaryngologist should be able to acquire the current
approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive management of
common otolaryngological conditions in the fields of pediatric, laryngology, head and neck cancer,
rhinology and facial plastics.
Participants will be cognizant of the latest research undertaken across Canadian universities.
Participants will identify common post-operative complications and learn technical aspects to avoid or
minimize such complications.
