About

The Stroboscopy.org mission

The aim of Stroboscopy.org is to provide a video-based learning resource for voice professionals (medical students, residents, SLPs, singing teachers, physicians) at any stage of training and experience. Given that stroboscopy is a video-based diagnostic tool we feel that an online resource would be the best option to serve the voice community. Stroboscopy.org is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, where experts from across the world can submit high quality laryngeal stroboscopy so others can learn from their experience and skill.

History

Stroboscopy.org was first discussed during our fellowship in California during a Laryngology Fellow exchange between UC Davis (Shumon) and University of Southern California (Bill). We were inspired by Gonioscopy.org, a world-renowned video-based learning resource for ophthalmologists created by Dr. Wallace L.M. Alward. We felt stroboscopy needed the same type of resource. However, to our chagrin no free, video-focused option existed for voice professionals. A few years later, Dr. Michael Orestes joined our efforts and reignited the idea that Stroboscopy.org needed to exist. Ms. Kelly Huang, then provided the key experience, consultation and resources for website design and functionality and pushed the team to make this a reality. Lastly, the UT Southwestern Academy of Teachers (SWAT) fellowship provided the funding for the initial launch of this website.
