Join us in San Francisco for Updates in the Management of Head and Neck Disease, a conference on the advanced management of head and neck disease. Faculty at the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF OHNS) and colleagues have curated a multi-faceted program so that each learner can choose the training that suits their needs. All sessions will take place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
On November 10, 2022, we have 2 different day-long intensives open to anyone.
- "Nuts and Bolts Behind Maximizing Communication and Swallowing Outcomes After Oncologic Treatments" will feature practical training brought to you from the leaders of the UCSF Voice and Swallowing Center and other members of the multidisciplinary care team. This is well-suited for speech language pathologists. Special thanks to UCSF OHNS's Sarah Schneider, MS, CCC-SLP and Northside Hospital's Joey Laus, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S for chairing this course.
- "Sialendoscopy and Surgery for Salivary Obstruction" will feature didactic lectures and a hands-on lab for skills practice with expert guidance. Special thanks to UCSF OHNS's Jolie Chang, MD, and William Ryan, MD, for chairing this course.
The general session takes place November 11-12 and can be attended on its own or in conjunction with a workshop above for a discounted fee. The goal of this conference is to outline practical treatment strategies for patients with early and advanced head and neck cancers. The multidisciplinary approach to care will be featured along this spectrum. We will address topics relevant to practitioners involved in the diagnosis, management, surveillance and supportive care of these patients.
The teaching faculty represent some of the best and brightest at UCSF and from across the country.
These courses are suitable for physicians, nurses, NPs, speech language pathologists, physician assistants, physicians in training and all others involved in the care of patients with head and neck disease.
We'd like to thank UCSF OHNS's Patrick Ha, MD, Ivan El-Sayed, MD, and Jonathan George, MD, MPH for chairing the general session.
