The North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) strives to create an inclusive focus for our society’s educational offerings, programs, and members by welcoming a wide variety of healthcare professionals who provide care for patients with skull base pathology. In keeping with that philosophy, we recognize member institutions that have multidisciplinary skull base surgery teams that include physicians in a variety of specialties. Those teams include some combination of: Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology, Otology/Neurotology, Ophthalmology, Radiology/neuroradiology, Radiation Oncology, Neurology, Oral Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Surgical Oncology (board certified in General Surgery), Endocrinology, Pathology, or Medical Oncology.
Recognition as an NASBS Multidisciplinary Team of Distinction is based upon criteria as described below and may not be construed as a Medical Referral.
Designation is determined based on having at least four NASBS members as follows:
- One member in an NASBS core specialty such as Otolaryngology, Rhinology, Head and Neck Surgery, or Otology /Neuro-otology
- One member in the NASBS core specialty of Neurosurgery
- Two members in NASBS non-core specialties including but not limited to Ophthalmology, Radiology/Neuroradiology, Radiation Oncology, Oral Maxillo-facial Surgery, Surgical Oncology (board certified in General Surgery), Plastic Surgery, Endocrinology, Pathology, Neurology, or Medical Oncology. These two members may be in the same non-core specialty, or two different non-core specialties.
