Who We Are

The Black Otolaryngologist Network is a nonprofit organization with a mission to promote Black excellence and advancement in otolaryngology through mentorship, sponsorship, community building, and advocacy.

Founded Spring 2020, we host virtual events for underrepresented medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty to discuss topics including health equity, career development, financial planning, building pipeline programs, coping with microaggressions and racism, and much more.
