After a very successful World Tour Program in 2008 and 2010, the IFHNOS is offering again a global continuing medical education program featuring the most respected leaders in the field of Head & Neck Surgery, Radiotherapy and Oncology.
The program will provide state-of-the-art knowledge and explore the frontiers of head and neck cancer diagnosis and treatment through introductory lectures; intense interactive discussions with regional specialists through case presentations and demonstration of operative techniques through video sessions. Ample opportunity for interactive discussions between the local faculty, attendees and the traveling faculty will be provided.
