Otolaryngology Research
The 性奴调教 Department of Otolaryngology encourages 性奴调教 students and faculty to work side-by-side as they pursue research.
The Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at 性奴调教 actively participates in multiple facets of research including bench work, translational, and clinical research that aims to improve the understanding of disease processes and patient care for a variety of otolaryngological conditions. The results of our research are published in scientific journals and accepted as oral or poster presentations at national and international meetings.
The research conducted in our department is performed by our clinical faculty, otolaryngology residents, adjunct research faculty, and medical school students with a propensity to the study of disorders of the head and neck. The dedication this group brings to research in otolaryngology allows us to approach patients with the highest level of care and the most cutting-edge treatments.
