Young Otolaryngologists of International Federation of Oto-rhino-laryngological Societies (YO-IFOS) committees

Young Otolaryngologists (YO) can face many challenges early in their careers. YO in the developing world might lack access to high quality and inexpensive educational material, although open access resources are increasing [1]. YO practicing in geographically isolated countries or modest academic hospitals might struggle to get opportunities for high-quality clinical or research fellowships [2]. Young surgeons who are active in research sometimes lack the opportunity to shine in international meetings because they have limited access to otolaryngology networks, associations and societies.
