This year, the conferences have been divided into two blocks, responding to requests arising from the satisfaction surveys of previous editions. The first block is dedicated to the assessment of the voice, both from the point of view logopédico and otorhinolaryngological, including practical workshops of speech therapy, round table phonosurgery and the current management of dysphagia. In the second block, the feminization of the voice in transgender women is dealt with in depth, emphasizing the need for a collaboration between the otolaryngologist and the speech therapist, also taking into account the masculinization of the voice.
The doctors Juan Carlos Casado and Carlos O'Connor, heads of the services of Otorhinolaryngology of the Hospitals Quirónsalud Marbella and Quirónsalud Campo de Gibraltar and directors of this day, have highlighted the relevance of this V Conference that has the scientific endorsement of the Society Spanish Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, the University of Malaga and the Official College of Speech Therapists of Andalusia.
