News -> July, 2001 News
As I will be assuming the duties of the Coordinator for Continuing Education of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery this September, I am handing over the editorial duties for the ARS Newsletter to Brent Senior. Brent is a superbly trained academic rhinologist with a strong publication record, and he will enhance the quality of the Newsletter far beyond what has been accomplished to date. That said, some progress has been made over the past 3 years that I have been Editor. We have advanced from a twice yearly to a 3 times yearly publication, and the Newsletter is circulated not only to ARS members, as had traditionally been done, but now also to the physician (practitioner and resident) membership of the AAO-HNS. The Newsletter is in a color rather than its previous black and white format, and is also self-supporting through unrestricted educational grants from pharmaceutical firms, rather than being a burden on the treasury of the ARS. During this same time frame the ARS established a web site, under the able leadership of my co-Chair of the Publications Committee, Martin Citardi, and the Newsletter has been the major source of "fresh material" for that web site.
In parting, I would like to thank the ARS leadership, in particular the President who appointed me, Mike Benninger, for prodding me into taking this job, as I, as most academic physicians, needed to become knowledgeable in desktop publishing, and the Editor position provided with the impetus. I would also like to thank my very able co-Editor and cheerleader, Melanie Dykins
