About spARO

The student, postdoc, resident and fellow chapter of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) is an inclusive group for any trainee participating in ARO-related activities. Our goal is to help trainees learn the ropes of a professional career in speech and hearing-related sciences. Trainees are anyone currently or within 7 years of schooling.

spARO is run by a Steering Committee, elected annually at the ARO MidWinter Meeting.  One, ex-officio, member of the Steering Committee serves a second year, and acts as a non-voting representative on the ARO Council.  In addition, spARO provides representatives to each ARO Committee that meets at the MidWinter Meeting. 

Contact spARO at: spARO.ex.officio@gmail.com  

spARO organizes and hosts several workshops at the ARO MidWinter Meeting. The organizers work year-round to curate great sessions and get together to celebrate at the meetings!
