Training Tomorrow's Leaders in Otolaryngology Care

One of the missions of the Otolaryngology Medical Education Program at Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center is to train future leaders through our residency program. This renowned five-year Otolaryngology Residency Program allows residents to gain experience in diagnosing and treating the full range of adult and pediatric ENT disorders through rotations in all major areas of otolaryngology. Residents receive hands-on training in the surgical management of ENT conditions and diseases and have access to specialized labs to hone their skills. In addition, residents engage in research and attend conferences to further explore the various aspects of otolaryngology care.

Five-Year Otolaryngology Residency

Since the incoming class of 2013, the ENT Residency Training Program at UH Cleveland Medical Center accepts four residents per year. During our five-year program, residents have exposure to the full spectrum of otolaryngology.
