Our Department has approximately 34 beds available at the three Hospitals. Our clinics see more than 20,000 patients per year, and manage full O.R. schedules at all three hospitals
Surgical Internship/First
Year
One year of general surgery training is required prior to the start
of the Otolaryngology residency. The internship is now the formal
first year of the Otolaryngology Residency Training Program. The
rotations during this year are jointly determined by the Departments
of Surgery and Otolaryngology. All are chosen with an eye toward
the development of the young Otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon,
and include rotations in Otolaryngology.
Second Year
The second year of the otolaryngology residency (PGY 2) emphasizes
the development of the specialized skills necessary to properly
evaluate and manage otolaryngologic complaints and illnesses. Junior
residents are intimately involved in the day to day management of
inpatients and in the outpatient clinics. The junior resident performs
appropriate surgery under supervision, and assists at more complex
operations. Operative experience progresses systematically as the
resident advances through the program. Junior residents are also
required to attend our comprehensive Basic Science course.
Third Year
The third year of the residency introduces intermediate residents
to the basic skills required to perform endoscopic evaluation of
diseases of the upper aerodigestive tract. Training at this level
includes instruction in the use of CO2 and KTP lasers in the endoscopic
treatment of pathology in the upper airway. All residents are required
to begin a research project in the second year during a 4-month
research rotation. This must be accepted for publication prior to
the completion of the residency.
Fourth Year
The fourth year of the residency emphasizes the development of the
microsurgical skills necessary for the management of otologic disease.
Residents attend the Otology Clinic where otologic pathology is
identified and management plans are instituted. Residents at this
level also begin their training in plastic surgical techniques appropriate
for the modern otolaryngologist. Experience is obtained in reconstructive
and cosmetic plastic surgery as well as in the management of patients
suffering maxillofacial trauma. This year also includes a rotation
as the chief resident for the Veterans Administration Hospital.
On this rotation the third year resident gains initial experience
in running a patient service and surgical experience in the breadth
of otolaryngology.
Fifth/Chief Year
The chief year is the chief residency year at Tisch, Bellevue and
Lenox Hill hospitals. Chief residents are responsible for the instruction
of junior residents and medical students, as well as for the day-to-day
management of their respective services at each of the constituent
hospitals. They have full operating room privileges at Bellevue
and can operate independently. They attend the Department's Head
and Neck Clinics and their operative experience emphasizes the treatment
of neoplastic disease of the head and neck region. Chief residents
are also trained in endoscopic sinus surgery.
Fellowships
Our Department offers fellowships in Otology/Neurotology, Head and
Neck Surgery, and Facial/Plastics. The Oto/Neurotology
fellowship is one of the few programs accredited by the American
Board of Otolaryngology.
These fellowships are available to those graduating from an accredited Otolaryngological program and are for a period of one or two years.
Salaries & Benefits
Resident salaries are set separately at each of the constituent
hospitals in accord with prevailing standards. Benefits include health
insurance. Life insurance, disability insurance, uniforms and four weeks
paid vacation per year.
