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 department is autonomous and 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. The resident then goes on to complete their final year of otolaryngology residency.

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.
