This national organization of ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists in the osteopathic profession began in 1908 with the establishment of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Section of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). This group has continued through the years to conduct an educational program in ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology in connection with the programs of the AOA which promote/support osteopathic trained ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists.
