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, Anesthesiology, Pediatric Surgery 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, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery or Otology/Neuro-otology

· One member in the NASBS core specialty of Neurosurgery

These two members may be in the same specialty, or two different specialties.
