Education in laryngology: rising to old challenges.
Education in laryngology has been a subject of interest at least since Louis Elsberg's address to the first meeting of the American Laryngological Association in 1879. Remarkable scientific, technological, and clinical advances during the 1980s and 1990s have elevated the standard of laryngological care. It is essential for training programs to promulgate these important advances through well-planned, comprehensive curricula. Such training should also foster an appreciation for the kinds of creative thought, interdisciplinary collaboration, and imaginative clinical practice that have been responsible for many of the recent dramatic advances in the field of laryngology.
