The aim of the Pediatric Otolaryngology Program is to train well rounded otolaryngologists who will improve the health of children and adolescents though clinical excellence, research, teaching, community involvement and advocacy. The primary aim of the program is to train a strong clinical pediatric otolaryngologist that is capable of handling the breadth of pediatric otolaryngologic conditions. Skillsets developed include compassion, teamwork, leadership, and strong technical abilities. The goal of the program is to produce graduates that are autonomous, enthusiastic, and dedicated to the field.

1. The program will be structured to provide a nurturing environment that promotes diversity, well-being, and clinical competence.
2. The program will utilize the most current education techniques and leverage technology in feedback.
3. The program will emphasize the ability to teach other learners including medical students, allied health students, residents, and advanced practitioners.
4. Trainees will play a prominent role in developing the program, conference topics, as well as leadership of the pediatric otolaryngology team. Our fellows spend the majority of their time on clinical service. The service is designed to be supportive including 4 advanced practitioners to help with the necessary work of the day. In addition, well-being is a strong initiative and at weekly education conference, we have utilized a behavioral HR specialist to give us lectures on well-being and stress management. Our program also focuses on clinical competence whereby we structure weekly conferences around pertinent topics in pediatric otolaryngology. We encourage our fellow to go to national meetings and both participate as a learner and instruct as faculty in simulation training.
