The residency-training program offered by the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine is a fully accredited, five-year residency program covering the entire field of Otolaryngology. Directed by Mark K. Wax, M.D., the program offers a curriculum covering the surgical, clinical and research areas of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery.

Our program consists of one year of general surgery (PGY-1) taken at this institution, followed by four years of Otolaryngology. The surgical positions are assured for applicants accepted to the program.

The Otolaryngology Training Grant supports a resident trainee for a 2-year research rotation. This rotation begins after the fourth year of residency (PGY-4). After the two year research experience, the resident then goes on to complete the final year of otolaryngology residency (PGY-5).

Three residents are appointed to the program each year. Residents are assured of receiving close instruction by our team of eleven full-time clinical faculty members and fourteen full-time research faculty members.
