Integrated Approach

Residency education extends beyond the scope of Otolaryngology solely. We are regular participants in educational programs for selected general surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery residents in their Otolaryngology clinical rotation. This allows these residents to have a one-month rotation exposing them to the spectrum of our specialty and experience the interfaces between their career path and Otolaryngology. Furthermore, on a regular basis we have residents from Internal Medicine participate in our Ambulatory Otolaryngology Clinic at the Robley Rex Veterans Affairs Medical Center in order for them to develop enhanced clinical skills in the history and physical examination as it relates to disorders of the upper aerodigestive tract. The residents in Pediatrics at the University of Louisville have an opportunity to shadow and participate in the Otolaryngology Clinic of the Kosair Children's Hospital to sharpen their skills in the examination of the ears, nose and throat of infants and children. This also allows them to understand the contemporary role of the Otolaryngologist in disorders such as Otitis media, tonsillitis, and obstructive sleep apnea in children.
