The goal of our residency program is to produce a physician prepared to be a board-certified otolaryngologist, qualified to pursue fellowship options, if desired. Our educational emphasis is on problem-solving and self-directed study, rather than rote memorization. Our goal, as medical educators, is to produce an excellent practitioner who commands a diverse knowledge base in otolaryngology and who has a proper appreciation of modern technology and specialization in the field. We actively encourage resident participation in the implementation of the educational program.
