Residency Program
The University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, Department of Otolaryngology offers an exceptionally strong training experience for Otolaryngology residents. The fundamental principle of the program it that resident responsibility is allocated gradually over the course of the five-year program, commensurate with the resident’s abilities and maturity. The greatest strength of our program is the outstanding and committed teaching staff of full-time faculty, all of whom place the excellence of the residency-training program as their highest priority in their academic endeavors.
