A huge thank you to our volunteers & faculty.

Clear trend: more #preference #signals in medical residency application→ less overapplication.
As signals increase, apps/applicant decline—reducing cost, noise, and inefficiency.
Better alignment less admin burden—is it for everbody?

Whew—another competitive year for #Otolaryngology
ERAS applicants remain high, and nearly every position filled again this cycle—just 1 unfilled pre-SOAP.
Interest is strong, but the margin is tight. How do we better support applicants?

A memorable miracle case. When someone survives invasive #fungal #sinusitis that has invaded the orbital apex, cavernous sinus, and intracranially, it is a miracle that is wrought not merely by the hands of human physicians. muhealth.org/sites/default/…

✨ 9‑Year Otoplasty Follow‑Up! ✨
It’s always rewarding to see long‑term results, and this 9‑year postoperative update is a great example of how well otoplasty can hold over time.

CN V-VII nerve transfer for right-sided #facialparalysis after tumor surgery. Notice there is a lag compared to the left side as patient must remember to “bite down“ to activate the right side of the face. #ENTSurgery

Early analysis of #OtoMatch2026reveals 3 key trends:
1⃣ENT hits record applicant numbers
2⃣Universal adoption: 100% program participation in #ENTSignaling
3⃣Apps per applicant = 44, down almost 50% from 2023. Have we tamed #ApplicationFever?

ERAS statistics are a bit misleading. The increased delta of ENT applicants for #Match2026 is greater than portrayed on ERAS Power BI data display.
Otherwise, interactive PowerBI is a great addition to the ERAS Statistics page.

Can your summer #BBQ be a risky proposition? It might be time to ditch your old #wire-bristle #grill brush. If you suspect wire-bristle ingestion, careful evaluation of a radiograph (CT scan or X-ray) should be able to catch the suspect.

Canada has created a voluntary standard for brush design (cps.bureauveritas.com/newsro…). There are no standards I'm aware of in the US. Should we eliminate these brushes in favor of alternatives?
