Welcome Message

Dear Members and Friends,

First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone for your long-standing support of the Taiwan Rhinology Society. As the fourth President of the Taiwan Rhinology Society, I am deeply honored to share with you our recent accomplishments and future vision. In this era full of challenges and opportunities, our society will continue to uphold professional standards and relentlessly promote the development and innovation of rhinology.

Since 1997, when a group of dedicated Taiwanese ENT doctors planned and compiled the “Taiwan Rhinitis Clinical Guidelines,” the field of rhinology in Taiwan has been steadily growing. The Taiwan Rhinology Society was officially established on March 23, 2014. Its founding aims were to enhance the standard of rhinology, promote rhinological research, improve the nasal and respiratory health of the public, and foster international academic exchange in rhinology. Our vision and goals are to connect domestic and international rhinology academic resources, align our academic pursuits with global standards, and ensure the health of patients with nasal and respiratory conditions.

In recent years, our society has aimed for internationalization and rejuvenation. Over the past year, we have made significant progress in academic research, clinical applications, and educational training. Particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of nasal diseases, our members have published numerous high-quality research papers and participated in several international academic conferences, showcasing our influential position in this field. We have strengthened our cooperation with the international rhinology community, actively participating in international academic activities, and enhancing the international visibility and influence of the Taiwan Rhinology Society. We believe that through collaboration with international and overseas rhinology societies, we can jointly advance rhinological science and contribute more significantly to the treatment and research of nasal and respiratory diseases.

We also invite young doctors who aspire to a career in rhinology to join our society and working teams, offering them opportunities and platforms for academic development. With the support of experienced rhinologists, the Taiwan Rhinology Society will continue to thrive with a dynamic mix of seasoned and young professionals.

Academic exchange is one of our society’s essential missions. We will continue to host various academic seminars and lectures, inviting renowned experts from home and abroad to share their research findings and clinical experiences. We hope every member will actively participate in these events to enhance our collective professional standards. We are also committed to improving the quality of clinical services in rhinology and promoting the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques. We will continue to provide professional training to ensure that patients receive the highest quality medical services.

Looking to the future, we will remain dedicated to advancing rhinology and enhancing Taiwan’s international standing in this field. We will continue to organize various academic activities, offering more learning and growth opportunities for our members. Additionally, we will strengthen our connections with the international rhinology community to promote academic exchange and cooperation globally.

Finally, I extend my heartfelt thanks to every member for your support and participation. I hope that with our collective efforts, the Taiwan Rhinology Society will continually reach new heights and make greater contributions to the development of rhinology.

Wishing you all good health and success in your work!
