Overall Learning Objectives
This meeting will provide learners in the specialty of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (including general and subspecialty otolaryngology – head and neck surgeons as well as resident and medical student trainees) a significant opportunity to attend sessions of interest and acquire further understanding and knowledge in areas of perceived / unperceived weakness in the specialty. All branches of the specialty, including head & neck oncology, laryngology, rhinology, otology, neurotology, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, general otolaryngology, sleep disorders, and medical education, are part of the program.
We will run three concurrent sessions of workshops and podium presentations along with several special sessions for medical students and residents over the 3-day meeting. This will provide delegates with a great variety of learning opportunities. As always, there will be ample time allotted for enhanced dialogue and discussion with the various presenters. In keeping with the theme of this year’s meeting, guest speakers will present their areas of expertise through plenary talks and workshops. All sessions will give learners practical and adoptable knowledge to use immediately in practice when they return home.

Scalp Reconstruction and Dermal Regenerative Matrices
A Review and Analysis Utilizing Integra Dermal Regeneration Template (IDRT) in Complex Scalp Reconstruction
LEARN MORE
SALON 1 – 2nd Floor, Westin Bayshore Hotel
Session Description
Reconstructive strategies for the management of scalp wounds are varied and impacted by defect size, depth, quality of regional tissue and patient comorbidities. Whilst skin grafting, locoregional flaps and free vascularized tissue transfer remain staples in the surgeons’ arsenal of intervention for scalp reconstructon, these options may not be suitable for all patients.
Please join Dr. Stephen Kovach as he reviews the substantial body of evidence for the use of IDRT (Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template) to reconstruct complex scalp wounds and share the treatment algorithm for this patient population by the multidisciplinary team at UPENN.

Reconstructive strategies for the management of scalp wounds are varied and impacted by defect size, depth, quality of regional tissue and patient comorbidities. Whilst skin grafting, locoregional flaps and free vascularized tissue transfer remain staples in the surgeons’ arsenal of intervention for scalp reconstructon, these options may not be suitable for all patients.
Please join Dr. Stephen Kovach as he reviews the substantial body of evidence for the use of IDRT (Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template) to reconstruct complex scalp wounds and share the treatment algorithm for this patient population by the multidisciplinary team at UPENN.

Dark Secrets of Stanley Park Walking Tour
Sunday, October 2, 2022 – 10:00 a.m.
On the Dark Secrets of Stanley Park Tour you’ll discover the park you thought you knew has a remarkable – and oftentimes shocking – history. Until European settlers forced the eviction of Coast Salish people from their villages and homes, the land had supported indigenous communities for thousands of years. The creation of the park itself was the result of one of the murkiest real estate deals in Vancouver history (and that’s saying something!). And today the park remains home to settler smallpox cemeteries, bizarre public artwork, and true crime scenes. Plus you’ll hear the incredible story of Deadman’s Island! You’ll never see the park the same way again.
After the tour, lunch will be held at the Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant & Brewpub which offers a casual west coast-inspired menu, and new, innovative beers brewed on-site.
Meet in the lobby of the Westin Bayshore Hotel @ 9:30 a.m. Cost: $85/person

The Climate Emergency is Here – A Panel Discussion
LEARN MORE
SUNDAY, October 2, 2022 @ 0900 – 1000
Ballroom DEF, Westin Bayshore Hotel, Vancouver
Moderator: Dr. Gigi Osler, Winnipeg, MB
All-time heat records, historic droughts, and catastrophic flooding are devastating the world. The Climate Emergency is real and delaying climate action should no longer be an option. Halting global warming in the long term requires, at a minimum, that no additional CO2 emissions from human activities are added to the atmosphere. Health care is one of the most carbon-intensive industries, responsible for 4.5% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
Learn from this outstanding international panel of experts on how the climate crisis is impacting communities in Canada, individual strategies to address climate change, and on how to achieve a low-carbon health care system.
