The interview process begins in the fall and ends in early February of each year. All faculty and residents have input in the interview and ranking order process.
All prospective applicants to the Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Residency are directed to apply through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). This process opens in September each year. Otolaryngology residency specialties are considered "Categorical" programs. This simply means that residents are required to take prerequisite training in their PGY1 year.
We suggest that you take the USMLE Step 2 in the fall of your senior year of medical school so that your scores will be available for faculty in the ranking process.
If you would like to visit our program prior to the interview process, we suggest you apply for our four-week clerkship: Otolaryngology for the Future Surgeon.
