Education

With the goal of being counted among the leading otolaryngology departments in the nation, we focus on state-of-the-art clinical care, research and education in an academic medical center. Applicants to our Otolaryngology Residency program can expect an enlightened, forward-thinking environment that will foster their abilities as a physician, as an agent for ongoing discovery and as a human being. An important feature of our residency program is that it offers an extensive general training in otolaryngology with exposure to fellowship-trained faculty in all subspecialties available in otolaryngology. This has resulted in a high level of clinical case material and resulting training.
The University of Rochester Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce of residents and faculty enriches our academic environment and is essential to providing outstanding patient care. We offer a stipend of up to $1,000 to help offset the cost of travel, room, and board associated with a visiting elective rotation for final year medical students from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine (URiM) or who have a demonstrated vision and commitment to improving the health status of diverse patient populations via patient care, research and/or teaching. Our subinternship is designed to provide experience working alongside our residents and faculty in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Accepted students will be provided application and career mentorship by faculty leadership and will be paired with a current URiM resident and fourth year medical student to introduce them to the university community.
The University of Rochester offers four clinical fellowship positions on a yearly basis. We are pleased to announce that we will be offering all four of these fellowship positions for 2022-2023. Application deadlines and start dates for each position vary. Fellowship positions are offered in the following specialty areas:
We take two 4th-year AuD externs per academic year. Externs will have the opportunity to rotate between both a Pediatric Audiology/ENT office and our Main outpatient office, where we see a variety of patients of all ages.
