The residency program in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the Loyola University Health System is designed to provide residents with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide comprehensive medical and surgical care to patients with diseases of the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. The program is five years in duration.

The first year (PGY-1) includes clinical month-long rotations in General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Neurosurgery, Plastic surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Anesthesia, Burns, Emergency Medicine, and Critical Care. Three months of PGY-1 are spent in Otolaryngology. The general purpose of PGY-1 is to provide an adequate foundation for proper care of the surgical patient by exposure to the various surgical disciplines and related specialties.

The next four years (PGY-2 through PGY-6) are devoted to Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and include exposure to all facets of the specialty. A four-month research rotation is included in PGY-3. By building on progressive layers of basic science education, surgical skills, patient care and research, the program seeks to develop well-trained Otolaryngologists and life-long learners.
