ScienceisAmazin Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 http://www.entpa.org/ent_for_the_pacAnybody planning to go to the conference this year? I'm a new ENT hire and my department is sending me before I begin. Would love to meet up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrsmurf Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I am surprised they have an ENT conference specifically for PA's. In California, there are only 50 or so ENT PA's in the entire state... so maybe 500 in the whole US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe1968 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I started working in ENT in September and loving it, my SP wants me to attend this course, I even joined the SPAO-HNS, Im the only PA in ENT here in southern Missouri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScienceisAmazin Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Joe1968- That's great! Will you be attending any of the workshops Thursday? I got in to 3 but couldn't snag a spot in the procedures one. (I'm hoping they may allow me to observe at least.) How have you found your transition to be?

Joe1968 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My background was general surgery and 6 years of pain management, transsitioning to ENT was a bit challenge, there is some steep lerning curve but after working for 5 months now I am starting to get comfortable. ENT is what I would call a specialty withing a specialty, meaning there are a lot os sub-specialties within otolaryngology, our specialty was head and neck surgery, we do a lot of parotidectomy, thyroidectomy, T&A, BMT. I applied for the conference back in November and honestly I forgot about it until I saw this thread yesterday (thanks), I would need to remind our office manager I would love to attend as many workshops as possible, I like workshops better than lectures, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe1968 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 update: I wont be able to attend , my application was late :( and I was told this is the first time they are doing this lecture/workshop and currently the slots is full and there are 17 people on the waiting list. I will try again next year and will put my application early, next year will be in Chicago which is closer since I live in Missouri. for those of you who will be attending, please post and give us an update I'm really exited and curios, I think it will be a great experience, like I said since this is the first time they are organizing this I guess they did not anticipate the large number of ENT PA's out there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
