Researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada are conducting a worldwide survey study evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on otolaryngologists, clinic/office staff, and allied health services involved in the care of otolaryngology patients. The study team is interested in gathering as many responses as possible from all people at risk of COVID-19 exposure and invite all surgeons in this society to participate, but also request their assistance in distributing the survey to clinic/office staff, colleagues, trainees, nurses, SLPs/audiologists, and hospital-based team members, since many of these populations are under-represented. Additional people can be invited by forwarding this message, passing on the link or qr code, and posting it to social media portals. The survey can be accessed through either this link (https://survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_3aVB2PExc9MRVH0) or QR code:

We appreciate your time and consideration in this project. Please share widely with colleagues and social media.
