Our Otolaryngology residency is a union of academic and community-based education models. OCUMC’s proximity to the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Center for Health Sciences affords our residents opportunities to participate in multidisciplinary patient care and interaction with other resident-driven service lines. Academic activities, such as Grand Rounds, are a regular part of our curriculum. Otolaryngology-specific didactic learning occurs in weekly sessions along with monthly Journal Club and Mortality & Morbidity (M&M) conferences. Academic didactic learning is an important part of our program, and hands-on didactic learning is equally important. The program has recently been awarded ACGME accreditation.
