The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc., also called the Triological Society, was founded in 1895 in New York, and is comprised of physicians in both academic and clinical otolaryngology.
Ossoff, who succeeds Gerald Berke, M.D., chief of head and neck surgery at the University of California, Los Angeles, will serve a one-year term.
“One has to be realistic in terms of what they want to bite off,” Ossoff said. “Change is inevitable, and we all have to embrace it. Some of the change I want to catalyze during my term as president will be continued by those who succeed me.”
Ossoff wants to ensure that the Triological Society continues to provide educational programs with the latest basic science and clinical information for its members and non-members who attend the meetings, and also through publication of its scientific journal, The Laryngoscope.
“I also want to embrace and harness newer tools of education so that we are not just offering the most up-to-date information, but offering it in the most up-to-date ways to facilitate the learning process,” he said.
