The residency program provides comprehensive training in clinical, surgical, and investigative aspects of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. The program is designed to produce excellent surgeons who apply sound scientific principles to the practice of head and neck surgery. Two-thirds of our graduates continue in top academic medicine centers across the country.
The university is a tertiary referral center for a five-state area including Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho (WWAMI region). Training experience builds on graduated increases in patient care over five clinical years. Trainees achieve excellence through didactic lectures, busy operative schedules, clinic exposure, and specific dissection courses. Accessible, involved faculty complement learning with directed teaching in clinics, wards, and the operating suite.
There are five residency positions offered annually, each consisting of five clinical years and one NIH R25-funded research year, for a total of six years of training.
