About the Academy Advantage Program
The Academy is pleased to introduce our Academy Advantage partners and to promote an exclusive Academy member benefit. Whether you are looking for medical liability insurance, patient education consultation services, marketing and website services, group purchasing, or financial planning and consultation, our Academy Advantage partners have products and services to meet your needs. Your Academy has teamed with several vendors to offer you products and services that are especially beneficial to your professional, business, and personal needs at exclusive members-only discount prices. Your Academy has negotiated special prices and offers that are better than offerings you would be able to get on your own. Some vendors have even customized products or services for the Academy Advantage program.
There is power in group purchases! As part of the Academy Advantage partnership, most participating vendors agree to contribute a royalty fee to the Academy that is based on the purchases of Academy members in return for access to Academy members through our marketing efforts. So you can feel good about your purchases from Academy Advantage partners – each purchase will help the Academy to accomplish its mission!
AAO-HNS members and prospective Academy Advantage program vendors can obtain more information about the Academy Advantage program by contacting Julie Wolfe at jwolfe@entnet.org or 1-703-535-3717.
