The Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery Residency Program at OSU integrates academic excellence with comprehensive, community-based clinical training. Our program provides residents with diverse educational experiences and opportunities to develop the knowledge, clinical judgment, and surgical skills essential to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.

Our close proximity to Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Center for Health Sciences fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and opportunities to engage with other residency programs and clinical service lines. This collaborative environment supports a well-rounded approach to patient care and resident education.

Academic education is a cornerstone of our program. Residents participate in weekly didactic sessions on Tuesday afternoons focused on otolaryngology-specific topics, clinical decision-making, and evidence-based practice. Quarterly academic meetings incorporate Journal Club and Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conferences, providing opportunities to critically evaluate current literature, review clinical outcomes, discuss complex cases, and promote continuous quality improvement. Grand Rounds and other academic activities further enrich the educational experience.

Our curriculum emphasizes both structured academic learning and hands-on clinical and surgical education, ensuring residents gain the practical experience and foundational knowledge necessary for professional growth.

The Otolaryngology Residency Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and holds Osteopathic Recognition, reflecting our commitment to comprehensive graduate medical education and the integration of osteopathic principles into patient care.
