What does the Educational Committee do


The Educational Committee

The Educational Committee is a standing committee of IFOS. IFOS has established a long standing tradition of education. It started with the responsibility of organizing the World Congress every four years. The survey of undergraduate and postgraduate training on a global basis was done by committee chairmen as John Bordley, James Snow and Robert Kohut.

IFOS is a Federation of Societies and has no individual members, it will therefore continue to stimulate the level of training according minimal requirements around the world. With th ehelp of the scientific committees it will also stimulate knowledge via the website www. ifosworld.org for the individual members

Part of the Educational Committee will be a subcommittee to develop educational programs of primary health care, in order to fullfill the mission statement of IFOS “To identify critical global ORL care needs and communication disorders, to propose ways to prevent and treat individuals with them and to set priorities among these needs according to their impact on society”.
