Texas Hill Country ENT Symposium

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery will host the annual Texas Hill Country ENT Symposium, March 22-23, at the Lakeway Resort and Spa in Austin.

The symposium focuses on new information that can be applied at the point of care in otolaryngology outpatient offices. Additionally, new technologies that offer better outcomes, cost-savings, and convenience will be presented as solutions for common otolaryngologic clinical problems.

The Texas Hill Country ENT Symposium is designed for practicing otolaryngologists, as well as residents and fellows in otolaryngology training programs, and other health care providers interested in a comprehensive update on advances in the medical and surgical care of disease of the ears, nose, and throat, and related structures. The symposium aims to enhance the day-to-day care provided by community-based otolaryngologists in Texas and across the country.

Day 1 of the symposium features the Rhinology/Pediatrics/Otology Module beginning at 1 p.m. Speakers from the first three sessions include Martin J. Citardi, MD; William Yao, MD; and Amber Luong, MD, followed by a Non-eosinophilic Rhinosinusitis Panel featuring the trio. After a 30-minute break, the module resumes with lectures from Zi Yang Jiang, MD; Rajarshi Pratihar, AuD; Vivian Kaul, MD; Zhen “Jane” Huang, MD, MBA; and David Conley, MD. A reception will follow the first day, beginning at 7 p.m.

Day 2 opens with breakfast at 7 a.m., followed by the Comprehensive/Head and Neck/Facial Plastic/Laryngology Module. The first half of the module consists of speeches from Shiva Daram, MD; Andrew Tritter, MD; Ibrahim “Trey” Alava, MD; and Denna Zebda, MD. Following a 30-minute break, the symposium concludes with four more lectures from Ron Karni, MD; W. Katherine Kao, MD; Tang Ho, MD; and Douglas Stanley, MD.
