Indian Academy of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (IAOHNS)

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

This is my first communication to you as the President of the most outstanding and of course the most prestigious society of ENT clinicians and academicians - the Indian Academy of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (IAOHNS). We are a completely apolitical congregation of academically oriented Otorhinolaryngologists with a mission. All of us at IAOHNS are singularly and collectively striving to take our discipline of Otorhinolaryngology forwards, to make it more meaningful to society, to achieve clinical and academic excellence in our respective fields of specialization, and to provide training to our junior colleagues who are the future of our fraternity. This is our mission and the IAOHNS was formed with this objective in mind. I am glad to say that with all your support and involvement our IAOHNS is living up to it in letter and spirit.

While trying for all of this, it also behooves on us as a professional body to induce social changes related to our profession and to ensure that all our members acquire the expertise of managing their practices in the best possible way in accordance with the law of the land and adapt to the rapidly changing socio-economic scenario. Many, if not most of us are undoubtedly excellent clinicians treating patients and performing surgeries which is comparable to (if not better than) the best in the world, but we suck miserably at managing our practices, managing our finances and many of the other things which are necessary to climb up the social (and of course the economic !) ladder keeping our heads high.
