Educating tomorrow's doctors

Beginning in 2002, Children's ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery began offering advanced post-graduate training in Pediatric Otolarynogology and Facial Plastic Surgery. Each year we interview graduates from Otolaryngology training programs throughout the country who are interested in obtaining advanced training in tertiary Pediatric ENT. Each year, one applicant is chosen to work side-by-side with our doctors and learn how to care for children with complex ear, nose, throat, cleft & craniofacial disorders.

Our fellowship is recognized nationally by residents and teaching faculty as one of the top pediatric fellowships in the country, and our former fellows are now working in leading medical centers around the country (see below). We are proud to contribute our knowledge and expertise towards the education of our country's next generation of pediatric specialists.
