Sunshine and Mentorship

I have attended the Triological Society meetings for nearly 20 years. Early in my career, I was fortunate to observe the thesis process firsthand when one of my fellowship directors was writing her thesis while I was a fellow. That experience encouraged me to complete my own thesis earlier than many, a decision that has been a lasting gift and allowed me to take on increasing leadership roles within the Society.

Serving on Council in my ENTtoday role has allowed me to see behind the curtain and appreciate just how intentional and thoughtful these efforts truly are. Founded in 1895, the Triological Society’s noble mission has always been to develop and mentor otolaryngologists as scholars and leaders. That legacy remains vibrantly alive.

With expanding offerings from mentorship sessions and poster receptions to the Maxine Bennett Reception, the Harold C Pillsbury Golf Outing, and newer additions like Sip ‘n Spa, the CSM continues to evolve while staying true to its core values. Abstract deadlines for the January meeting are typically in August. If you have not attended recently, or ever, I strongly encourage you to consider making the trip. Sunshine is nice, but the mentorship and fellowship are invaluable.
