Together with Phillip Kaleida, MD, another Children's pediatrician, Dr. Hoberman developed a program, ePROM (enhancing PRoficiency in Otitis Media) which was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of American Medical Colleges. This program has helped to train students, medical residents and practitioners across the country in the diagnosis of AOM.
