Overview

The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO–HNSF) Simulation Education Committee invites you to submit an abstract for consideration to present at the Simulation Showcase, held during the 2025 AAO–HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience in Indianapolis, Indiana. This meeting is the premier event for the otolaryngologist–head and neck surgery community to share practical and comprehensive knowledge that will advance the specialty, worldwide.

We invite you to submit an abstract for consideration, to demonstrate your current simulator and/or simulation activities during this year’s Simulation Showcase event. Successful abstract submissions will include the following:
  • An innovative and creative approach to the development, validation or study of a simulator, simulation, or simulation-based curriculum;
  • Demonstrate the successful usage of the simulator model or simulation activity with proven demonstrative results and its replicability throughout the specialty; and
  • Describe the simulator model or activity’s relevance to advance training and practice in the field of otolaryngology.

Submission deadline: Monday, May 19, 2025

Question Title

* 5. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Objectives focus participants’ attention on the expected behavioral outcomes from the presentation. You should state clearly and succinctly what attendees should be able to learn and, if interested, practice upon completion of the presentation. Begin each statement with a verb (i.e., analyze, compare, demonstrate, examine, explain, implement, interpret, recognize, etc.). Please note, the learning objectives are different from the description/goals of your presentation.

For each learning objective submitted, complete the sentence, ‘Upon completion, participants will be able to…’ Use action words to begin this learning objective (e.g., list, describe, define, demonstrate, conduct, etc.). CHARACTER LIMIT: 200 characters per objective, provide at least two.

Question Title

* 6. CATEGORIES
Please select any of the following that best describes your simulation or simulation activity.

Question Title

* 7. Does this submission involve the development, validation or study of a simulator, simulation, or simulation-based curriculum? 

Question Title

* 8. Has the simulator model or simulation activity been successfully used with proven demonstrative results?
