Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship Training Program
The one-year Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship Training Program at Children's Memorial Hospital offers the pediatric otolaryngology fellow a broad-based clinical experience and clinical research exposure in an academic environment.
Children's Memorial is an international referral center for tertiary pediatric medicine. Its pediatric otolaryngology division is one of the busiest in the region. The division sees an average of 1,100 outpatients per month and performs an average of 350 surgical procedures per month. Fellows are involved in the care of high-risk neonates and children with a variety of rare and complicated acquired and congenital conditions that have otolaryngologic manifestations.
Fellows work closely with our nationally recognized expert pediatric otolaryngology subspecialty faculty to refine their skills in pediatric otolaryngology and to participate in advanced surgeries beyond the expertise of residents in training. The volume of complex fellow “index” cases as defined by the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology is exceeded year after year. Children's Memorial offers the fellows exposure to a cutting-edge pediatric airway practice where they will be involved in the management of and surgical reconstruction of the compromised pediatric airway.
The hospital is a national referral center for pediatric head and neck masses with national recognition for the treatment of congenital pediatric neck masses. It has also recently been recognized as having the nation's largest and one of the most successful cochlear implant programs. Fellows will be exposed to the medical as well as surgical management of pediatric hearing loss.
Effective July 1, 2011, the fellowship is ACGME-accredited; it is associated with the otolaryngology residency training program at Northwestern University.
The principal otolaryngologists who participate in fellowship training are as follows:
In addition to the standard application form, we require three letters of recommendation and current curriculum vitae. A recent photograph would be appreciated.
