Residency Program | Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

A Word from the Program Director

 

Otolaryngology Residency training consists of five years in a formal otolaryngology program with six months of non-otolaryngology rotations (ICU, General Surgery, Trauma, Anesthesia, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology).  We as a faculty group view this apprenticeship model of training as a commitment to your education.  We expect the same dedication from our trainees.  During your residency, you will have the opportunity to provide patient care under the direction of full-time faculty and adjunct faculty.  You will have access to a multitude of resources including online database, human anatomy lab, didactics, and medical conferences.

Each rotation will focus on the educational objectives to reflect growth in 1.) Medical Knowledge, 2.) Professionalism, 3.) Patient care with practice-based learning, 4.) Interpersonal Communication skills, 5.) System-based practice.  Residency training is a marathon and not a sprint!  Take joy in that journey and remember to take away learning points from each situation that you encounter.  The small interactions can be sometimes harder than some of the tangible aspects of residency.  We expect you to commit yourself into becoming the best otolaryngology resident that you can be.
