Curriculum & Training Sites

The primary teaching institution for the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery residency training program program is HMH. The care of inpatients and consult patients is provided by a team of residents who report and round daily with faculty. In general, at Houston Methodist Hospital, surgical cases are performed by residents and faculty together, with the resident performing as much of the procedure as possible – given the complexity of the case and the experience of the resident. There are approximately 4000 cases performed by the otolaryngology operative service line at HMH. There is a wide range of adult general otolaryngology cases, major tertiary as well as quaternary care experiences, including complicated head and neck cancer, neurotology, sinonasal/skull base tumors, laryngology and plastic and reconstructive surgery cases.

The rotation at TCH-West Campus will allow for an in-depth experience in pediatric otolaryngology lead by fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologist. Residents will have a comprehensive exposure to routine and more complex ENT diseases afflicting the youngest members of our Houston community.
