Duke Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Science’s vision is to be a global leader in promoting healthier connections with the world. We provide an academic environment that seeks to challenge the residents to perform at their personal best. Our well-rounded educational programs include weekly Grand Rounds, weekly subspecialty didactics, resident teaching conferences, visiting professorships, and cadaver dissection labs, to name a few. Also integrated into the program is our four-month research block with dedicated and protected time to pursue basic and or clinical investigation. Following their tenure as residents at Duke, many of our newly-minted colleagues continue their educational efforts in some of the most desired fellowships in our field. To date, all residents applying to fellowships have successfully matched. We are also proud of the continued connections that we maintain with our graduates as we support them in the development of their clinical and academic autonomy.
