April 2020 HSC Section 4 - Plastic and Reconstructive Problems

The Home Study Course (HSC) is designed to provide relevant and timely clinical information for physicians in training and current practitioners in otolaryngology−head and neck surgery. The course, spanning four sections, allows participants the opportunity to explore current and cutting- edge perspectives within each of the core specialty areas of otolaryngology. The Selected Recent Material represents primary fundamentals, evidence-based research, and state of the art technologies in plastic and reconstructive problems. The scientific literature included in this activity forms the basis of the assessment examination. The number and length of articles selected are limited by editorial production schedules and copyright permission issues and should not be considered an exhaustive compilation of knowledge of plastic and reconstructive problems. The Additional Reference Material is provided as an educational supplement to guide individual learning. This material is not included in the course examination and reprints are not provided. Needs Assessment AAO-HNSF’s education activities are designed to improve healthcare provider competence through lifelong learning. The Foundation focuses its education activities on the needs of providers within the specialized scope of practice of otolaryngologists. Emphasis is placed on practice gaps and education needs identified within eight subspecialties. The Home Study Course selects content that addresses these gaps and needs within all subspecialties. Target Audience The primary audience for this activity is physicians and physicians-in-training who specialize in otolaryngology−head and neck surgery.
