Biography
Dr. Corinna Levine is an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Miami specializing in Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery. She completed medical school at Yale, followed by otolaryngology residency, an Outcomes Research Fellowship, and MPH at the University of Washington, and fellowship training at the University of Miami.
As a surgeon-scientist and Director of Clinical Rhinology Research, Dr. Levine's clinical practice focuses on chronic rhinosinusitis, endoscopic skull base surgery, sinonasal and orbital tumors, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and skull base reconstruction. Her research aims to improve chronic rhinosinusitis outcomes through precision health approaches and by addressing healthcare delays and disparities. She has received multiple career development awards and is currently funded by an NIH NIMHD K23 award.
Dr. Levine is deeply committed to education and mentorship as Director of the Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Fellowship and Director of the Rhinology Resident Rotation. She serves is the Chair-elect for the AAO-HNS Evidence-Based Medicine & Outcomes Research Committee,
and chairs the North American Skull Base Health Value Committee and the American Rhinologic Society Mentoring Committee. -

Research Interests
Health Research Interest: My long-term goal is becoming a transdisciplinary outcomes researcher focusing on health disparities and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). My interest is using team science to provide efficient and customized patient care. In this proposal, I take important steps toward this goal with research to reduce CRS care disparities and using multi-faceted CRS disease profiles to predict care outcomes.
I am examining the role social determinants of health (SDOH) play in CRS disease burden in order to incorporate these determinants into future research.
Addressing the significant clinical gaps in CRS care requires a new strategy for integrating and analyzing sociodemographic factors with clinical and biological disease measures. This new field of precision medicine draws on many research arenas. To position myself for performing this precision medicine research, I established a dedicated mentorship and interdisciplinary collaborative team, including leading researchers health disparities, computational sciences, molecular biology, community-based research, microbiome, and olfaction.
Health Disparities: My preliminary research established that Hispanic patients have worse presenting CRS disease burden. This proposal focuses on mitigating these disparities. My work is the first research to incorporate important SDOH into our classification of CRS disease in order to improve CRS treatment outcomes. Moreover, my research also engages our community minority population to identify barriers to successful CRS care. The information gained from my research will inform targeted interventions to address existing care barriers and inform our understanding of disparities in CRS treatment outcomes. -
