Welcome

Celebrating Over 80 Years Of Service!

The American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy (AAOA) represents over 2,700 Board-certified otolaryngologists and health care providers. Otolaryngology, frequently referred to as Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT), uniquely combines medical and surgical expertise to care for patients with a variety of conditions affecting the ears, nose, and throat, as well as commonly related conditions. AAOA members devote part of their practice to the diagnosis and treatment of allergic disease. The AAOA actively supports its membership through education, research, and advocacy in the care of allergic patients.

PRACTICE RESOURCES

AAOA Practice Resource Tool Kit

Research Grants

The AAOA Foundation is committed to supporting research—both basic and translational—aimed at improving patient care. Our funding is available to any investigator who wishes to advance knowledge within the field of otolaryngic allergy. Research goals should align with our scope of knowledge.

There are two proposal deadlines each year:
– June 1st (award notification by August 1)
– December 1st (award notification by February 1)

Resident Membership

AAOA offers two pathways for resident membership.

Resident may join individually for a flat fee of $45 for the lifetime of their residency. With this comes tremendous access to the AAOA education programs, Foundation research grants, educational stipends, and more.

Training Programs can sponsor all their residents as AAOA members. Any Faculty who is an active AAOA member can sponsor the program residents. This is expanded from the Chair or Program Director to any faculty member. This can be a great way to augment your resident training by assuring the program residents have access to the AAOA education programs, Foundation research grants, educational stipends, and more.
