On behalf of the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, I would like to welcome you and thank you for your interest in our program.

Our department is committed to guiding medical students on a path of success in the field of otolaryngology.  We offer a robust training experience,  commitment to student mentoring and a wide variety of research participation opportunities.  Our department is proud to feature faculty specializing and representing each of the seven subspecialties within otolaryngology; general otolaryngology and allergies, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastic reconstructive surgery, head and neck oncology surgery, laryngology, rhinology, otology and sleep disorders.

We’ve developed these pages to assist you in learning more about the field, and the resources we can provide you on your medical education journey.
