Hello everyone, welcome to Sundays with Saima. This podcast is made for aspiring otolaryngologists to learn from trainees and attendings in the field. I am your host, Saima Wase, fourth-year medical student at Northeast Ohio Medical University.

Today I want to provide a short update before we move onto the next season of Sundays with Saima. First, I want to thank this audience and all my previous guests for their attention, time, and interest in this project. It has been a true honor and privilege to be able to learn from the brightest minds in the field. Moving forward, I plan to open up this platform to medical students interested in exploring the field as co-hosts. While you will still hear from me from time to time, my role will be limited as I will start residency. Starting from today, you will see an introduction episode for our wonderful co-hosts every Sunday. After their introductions, we will plan to have regular podcast episodes on the first of every month. I hope these changes will only enhance the perspective that you gain from this podcast as you navigate the field of otolaryngology. As always, please feel free to reach out to me via Instagram or twitter @sundayswsaima. Tune in at 5 pm to hear from our newest co-host in Season 3 of Sundays with Saima. Thanks again and happy Sunday.
