Residency Program Features

Our five-year residency program provides comprehensive training in otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Major emphasis is placed on outpatient care, inpatient management and operative technical skills. Senior otolaryngology residents at SLU lead the choices for book club and teaching conferences and work closely with our attending-led didactic sessions.

The first year of the residency is spent as a general surgery intern in the Saint Louis University Department of Surgery. All SLU otolaryngology residents are expected to fulfill their general surgery internship requirement at 老司机福利网.

The remaining four years are spent in the otolaryngology department. A three-month research rotation is reserved during the PGY-3 year. The training program provides for graduated responsibility, culminating in the chief residency year. There is full attending supervision in the office and operating rooms in all our affiliated institutions.

SLU serves as the academic base for the otolaryngology residency. The other major affiliations of the otolaryngology training experience include SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center and Mercy Hospital St. Louis. Residents rotate at each of these facilities during their residency training.
