Dr. Eapen is a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology (AAO) and the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO). She has presented her research widely and published in many prominent otolaryngology journals. As a result of her dedication to teaching during residency, Dr. Eapen was nominated by her fellow residents and trainees for AOA honor society.
