The mission of the American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) is to advance the education, research and quality of care for the head and neck oncology patient.  The AHNS is committed to developing tomorrow’s leaders in head and neck oncology.  Currently with limited formal training opportunities for fellows in advanced technologies, including robotic surgery, the AHNS is committed to partnering with industry to provide future head and neck surgeons a pathway for advanced training in surgery, including transoral robotic surgery (TORS). As such, the AHNS has joined with industry to offer AHNS fellows a formal advanced training opportunity in TORS.
