In order to provide a broad educational and clinical experience, each resident spends three months at each of the three affiliated teaching hospitals. The resident also spends three months on an off service rotation to gain educational experience in Otolaryngology, Anaesthesiology, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Neurosurgery. Throughout the year, regularly scheduled lectures, literature reviews and case presentations will be held.
