Abstract |
Aims |
An international survey was conducted to explore the professional and regional spread of “young” otolaryngologists, their society membership and networking preferences, with relevance to global health and future initiatives.
Material and methods |
Otolaryngologists under the age of 45 years who had attended the 2017 International Federation of Otorhinolaryngological Societies (IFOS) meeting were invited by e-mail to participate in an online survey. Basic demographic data and information regarding career geography and networking preferences was requested.
Results |
A total of 928 responses (including 635 certified otolaryngologists and 268 trainees) were received from 2787 individuals invited to complete the survey. The overall response rate was 33.3%. Most otolaryngologists were based in an academic hospital. The spread of respondents likely reflects the European location of the meeting from which participants were identified; 61.2% of all respondents were based in Europe. International movement between career stages was evident. The principal preferred networking methods involved face-to-face contact whilst social media use was the method of choice for 13%.
Conclusion |
This survey offers a present-day snapshot and is hoped to serve as a platform for further work. Little is known on a global scale regarding the professional behaviours and networking preferences of otolaryngologists. A greater understanding will facilitate not only education and research but also enable networking and global health work.
