Residency

Welcome to one of the most dynamic and high-volume Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery residency programs in the country. Based in the heart of Miami, our program offers unmatched clinical, surgical, and academic training in a city known for its cultural richness and diversity.

We are proud to announce that the ACGME has approved an expansion of our program to five residency positions per year, further strengthening our commitment to comprehensive training across all subspecialties. Our residents gain hands-on experience in a wide range of cases—ranging from complex head and neck oncology to cutting-edge otologic and sinus procedures—across top-tier facilities within the University of Miami and Jackson Health System.

Our academic program is equally robust. We are one of the few residency programs nationally supported by NIH-funded R25 research training grants, designed to foster the development of future surgeon-scientists. With dedicated research time, strong faculty mentorship, and access to world-class resources, residents are well-positioned to contribute to impactful scientific discovery while advancing their clinical expertise.

Whether you're pursuing excellence in surgical skills, academic leadership, or research innovation, you'll find the tools, mentorship, and environment here to thrive.
