Needs Assessment
The education activities of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) are designed to improve healthcare provider knowledge, competence, and performance through lifelong learning. The Foundation focuses its education activities on the needs of providers within the specialized scope of practice of otolaryngologists.
Content for each activity is designed to address the learning gaps and needs. Emphasis is placed on identified practice gaps and education needs within each of the eight otolaryngology subspecialties. Through a gap analysis process involving self-identified learning needs, otolaryngology thought leaders’ opinions, a thorough literature search, and otolaryngology subject matter expertise, knowledge self-assessment within each of the specialties is considered critical to addressing an ongoing learning need of otolaryngologists.
Target Audience
The primary audience for this activity is physicians and physicians-in-training who specialize in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, wish to enhance their knowledge skills, and/or wish to receive CME and MOC credit.
