Education Programs
Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery is a broadly based discipline involved in the diagnosis and management of disease occurring above the clavicles and largely outside the orbit and cranial cavity. As such, it encompasses many systems and involves a very broad area of medical practice, including communication disorders, hearing loss, neurotology, skull base surgery, head and neck surgery, endoscopy, facial and reconstructive surgery and allergy in all age groups. The faculty has a broad range of skills with leaders represented in virtually all sub-disciplines. Very close relationships exist, including cross-appointments, with a number of other disciplines such as radiation oncology, pathology, and certain of the basic sciences. The discipline is vital, changing and growing. It is very exciting to be a part of this specialty.
