“Recognition is a powerful force in our lives. Our AAO-HNS Hall of Distinction inductees this year were nominated for the impact they have made across all of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery,” Dr. Merati said. “These leaders brought positive change for our patients, our operating rooms, our conferences, and perhaps most importantly in how we see, teach, and communicate with each other. The Awards Committee is focused on this recognition but also on the ability of each of these otolaryngologists to inspire and elevate those around them. This year’s inductees are a remarkable group of people.”
