Diversity in Academic Laryngology: An Evaluation of Academic Advancement and Research Productivity.

Background: Diversity within the medical profession with respect to sex and racial minorities has been shown to have a positive effect on health and healthcare. Characterization of a field is key to evaluating trends and the advancement of diversity in an otolaryngology subspecialty.

Study Design: Observational study.

Evaluation of Cost-effectiveness and Clinical Value of Routine Histopathologic Examination of Septoplasty Specimens.
