Applications   The Fellow will be appointed by the Dean of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences upon the recommendation of a selection committee comprising The Dean of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences (or nominee), the Head of the Departments of Surgery and Audiology, a representative of the family of Sir Patrick Eisdell Moore, a representative of the Deafness Research Foundation (major sponsor). An application is to be submitted on the required form detailing the applicant’s background, programme of research to be undertaken and how the research will fit with the applicant’s future career plans.  Details of the research group or environment and supervision where the applicant intends to undertake the Fellowship must be provided.  Applications will need to be accompanied by a letter of support from a supervisor(s) within the University of Auckland. Details of any clinical attachment must be provided.   Contact Details on the Fellowship are available from:   The Dean Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences The University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland New Zealand     NB For more information see Resource Folder Sat, 26 Jun 2010 NZST http://www.orl.org.nz/news/registrar-presentations-at-nzsohns-2011-asm There will be a very large International ORL-HNS meeting to be held in Auckland in March, 2011. Guest Faculty will include people from the very top echelons of our Specialty, in each of the following subsecialty areas: Otology, Rhinology, Paediatric ORL, Head and Neck, Facial Plastics, Sleep Medicine and Laryngology. The call for abstracts is now open (visit www.asia-oceania2011.org ) and submissions from trainees in NZ will be viewed very favourably. There is an opportunity to present a paper in the presence of the most prestigious ORL Specialists in the World (visit the website and google their names, if you like). This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for NZ Otolaryngology trainees. If we receive an abstract from a NZ registrar before 31 August, it will be considered for the Registrar Prize, and will be assured of a relatively prominent place in the program. After that date any abstracts received will just go into the mix, and take 'pot luck' as to where they fit in the program. That often leads to a small audience, with few if any "big names" present. The abstract submission process allows for a situation whereby the 'final' results of data analysis are not available; the topic, aims, methods and preliminary results should provide sufficient information to allow assessment of the material for suitability for presentation and to attract interest for conference delegates.   Tue, 22 Jun 2010 NZST http://www.orl.org.nz/news/the-new-zealand-deafness-notification-database-relaunch The NZAS is keen to receive notification data on all children who are identified with a hearing loss during 2010.
