To move ahead, our specialty needs to advance our level of understanding and develop, implement, and disseminate successful interventions toward the goal of eliminating disparities. Healthcare Disparities in Otolaryngology offers comprehensive look at this important topic and its clinical impact on the practice of otolaryngology. After first covering specialty-wide perspectives on factors that are associated with healthcare disparities in otolaryngology, it then focuses on subspecialty specific evidence. Editors and authors represent leading otolaryngology experts who have assembled the most up-to-date recommendations for managing healthcare disparities in the field.
