各位耳鼻喉頭頸外科的前輩、先進、同道及嘉賓，大家好！

中國醫藥大學附設醫院耳鼻喉頭頸外科部很榮幸能夠主辦這次台灣耳鼻喉頭頸外科醫學會第115屆學術演講會，距離上次中醫大舉辦第87屆學術演講會已經相隔14年。最近幾年受到新冠疫情衝擊，整個醫療環境、社會型態與人際來往有巨大的變化，所幸疫情也自今年五月起降階，並從第五類傳染病改為第四類，相信大家更期待可以面對面地進行學術討論、新知分享與感情交流；感謝學會給中醫大耳鼻喉部這個機會來舉辦這次活動，所有成員從去年年底就開始規劃與籌備，希望能夠為全國會員提供一個完美的學術盛宴，並提供一個交換新知識和友誼的平台。我們將盡我們所能，不辜負大家的期望。

中國醫藥大學創立於1958年，1980年設立附設醫院，中國醫藥大學醫療體系是深受民眾信賴的醫療重鎮與健康堡壘，不斷地持續進步並延伸服務觸角，建立民眾所需的醫療健康體系，目前除了台中附設總院，增建7 棟醫療大樓以外，也擴及有5 家體系醫院及多家支援合作機構。因應研究教學服務需求，學校購置舊水湳機場部分土地，規劃建立嶄新的校園，已於3年前將校本部遷到水湳校區，今年本校醫學系是第60屆(M60)醫學生畢業，剛好是一甲子的歲月，也是學會第一次在我們新校區舉辦，更有其特別的意義。

本次大會預計邀請國內外不同領域的專家進行主題演講（Keynote Speech），並安排學術論壇（Symposium）、專題演講和繼續教育課程，由各大醫療院機構和基層專家學者共同參與。涵蓋的領域包括耳科、鼻科、喉科、頭頸外科、音聲、睡眠、顱顏整形、耳鳴和小兒耳鼻喉科。我們期待透過這次會議，讓全國會員分享和討論最新的國際和專業研究成果與智慧結晶，激發和開創台灣耳鼻喉頭頸外科在國際上的學術視野和參與。同時，我們也安排了一系列基層醫療講座，以加強和提升我們在台灣基層醫療中的實力和影響力。

再次感謝理事會讓中國醫藥大學附設醫院耳鼻喉頭頸外科部主辦第115屆學術演講會，期待可以讓所有前輩先進同道好友有一個充滿學術分享與心靈交流的學術與友誼饗宴。謝謝大家！

On behalf of the local organizing committee for the 115_th Annual Congress of the Taiwan Society of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, I appreciate and express our great honor and pleasure to invite you to this 115_th meeting, to be held in China Medical University (CMU), Shui-Nan, Taichung, on December 16(Sat)-17(Sun), 2023.

It has been 14 years since the last time CMU organized the 87_th Annual Congress. Due to the COVID-19, we have experienced significant changes in the healthcare system, social interactions and interpersonal relationships these years. Fortunately, the situation has got improved since this May. We believe that everyone is looking forward to face-to-face knowledge sharing, academic discussions, and mutual friendship exchanging. We would like to thank the Society for giving us this opportunity to organize the 115_th congress. Our team has been engaged to prepare it since the end of last year, hoping to provide a perfect academic feast for our members and offer a platform for exchanging new knowledge and friendships.

CMU was founded in 1958, and its affiliated hospital, CMUH, was established in 1980. CMUH is now a trusted and well-known medical center, continuously progressing and extending its service to meet the public healthcare needs. Currently, in addition to the Taichung main hospital, which has expanded to seven major buildings, there are also five affiliated hospitals and several collaborative medical institutes. In response to the needs of research, teaching, and medical service, CMU has acquired part of the former Shui-Nan Airport and constructed a brand-new campus. The main CMU campus was relocated to the Shui-Nan new campus three years ago. This year, CMU is celebrating the graduation of its 60_th batch (M60) of medical students. Therefore, 2023 is the "sexagenary cycle" or "60-year cycle” graduate year for the medical student in CMU. It is also the first time that our Society is holding an annual congress in our new campus, making this conference even more meaningful and special.

This 115_th congress is expected to invite experts from different fields, both domestic and international, to deliver keynote speeches, featured symposiums, special lectures, and continuing education courses, etc. These will include the special fields about otology, rhinology, laryngology, head and neck surgery, audiology, sleep medicine, craniofacial surgery, tinnitus, and pediatric otolaryngology, etc. We hope that through this congress, our members can share and discuss the latest academic and research achievements, thus inspiring and promoting our academic vision and participation on an international level. At the same time, we will arrange a series lectures about primary health care, in order to enhance and strengthen the capabilities and influence of our Society in the Taiwan healthcare system.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the Board for allowing the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at CMUH to host the 115_th congress. We hope that all the respected colleagues, experts, and friends can enjoy this scholarly and friendly feast and be filled with academic sharing and spiritual exchange.

We look forward to welcoming you in December 2023 to Taichung.

With kindest regards,

台灣耳鼻喉頭頸外科醫學會第115屆學術演講會　會長
