A block of dedicated research time is provided during the OTO-2 year.
Under the guidance of Herbert Gould, PhD and William Hinkle, PhD; residents
will undertake a project worthy of presentation at a major meeting and/or
publication. The project may be clinical or basic science in nature, and
may draw upon the expertise and resources of members of the otolaryngology
faculty and/or those of allied disciplines (allergy and immunology, oncology,
radiation oncology, pediatrics, neurobiology, anatomy, surgical pathology,
audiology, speech pathology, etc.).
Residents are required to demonstrate ongoing scholarly activity throughout
training. Dr. Gould and the other
otolaryngology faculty will be available to promote continued development of
these skills both within and outside of the dedicated research rotation.
The ultimate goal is to equip each resident with the tools necessary to
understand the scientific method, critically analyze the medical literature,
maintain an inquisitive sense, and test hypotheses. These tools are
necessary for a successful lifetime of learning.
