Introduction
Each year, the faculty interviews approximately 60 applicants for five residency positions. Two groups of residents are selected: three residents are selected for the five-year clinical training program and two residents are selected for the seven-year research track. The two residents in the research track begin two years of advanced research training and enter their clinical otolaryngology training at the end of their research training; the three residents in the clinical track enter their clinical training immediately after their internship year.
How to Apply
Applications are only accepted through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS).
