Clinical PracticeWhile on clinical rotation, residents have the opportunity to see cases generated from approximately 40,000 outpatient private visits and 2,800 outpatient clinic visits a year. Surgery volume resulting from this approaches 4,200 annual cases, which the residents participate in throughout the year. A full spectrum of clinical cases is available for teaching. Residents completing our four-year program will commonly perform as many as 1,800 cases as operating surgeons. An important feature of this residency is that it offers an extensive general training in otolaryngology with exposure to fellowship-trained faculty in all subspecialties. This results in a very high level of clinical case material, which in turn results in an exceptionally broad-based training experience. |
