Awards
Tanya Meyer, MD, UW Otolaryngology Associate Professor, and Otolaryngology Residency Program Director, has been elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha (AΩA) Honor Medical Society at the faculty level by current members of the University of Washington chapter.

Douglas Paauw, faculty councilor for the UW AΩA chapter, writes, “Each year, the UW AΩA chapter elects faculty, residents, and fellows who demonstrate commitment to and excellence in teaching medical students as well as displaying outstanding leadership, professionalism, service, and professional achievement. . . election to AΩA is one of the highest honors that physicians can receive.”
Dr. Meyer is a senior laryngologist with a national reputation in clinical neurolaryngology and for her research on the impact of voice disorders in the workplace. She is the residency program director for UW Otolaryngology-HNS and serves as co-chair of its Diversity Committee. Dr. Meyer was a recipient of the 2018-2019 Presidential Citation from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS).
