Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Residency at Farmington Hills

The Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery program at Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital is a five-year residency, including the tracked internship. Established in 1979, Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital proudly supports the education and surgical training of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery residents and has many ENT graduates across the country. The program is accredited by the ACGME. The program is accredited for two residents per year and recruits two PGY-1 residents each year.

The department of Otolaryngology prides itself on extraordinary care for each and every patient. Our mission is to train Otolaryngology residents and medical students to continue our tradition of providing compassionate, extraordinary care to a diverse population. The Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital Otolaryngology Residency Program is designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience that prepares physicians to meet the demands of a contemporary medical and surgical practice in urban and suburban community hospitals. Residents learn to provide patient- and family-centered care, contributing to the health and well-being of patients throughout the community. The Otolaryngology residency program will continue to make every effort to instill core values of compassion, professionalism, integrity, and excellence.

The Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital Otolaryngology program aims:

• To instill core values of compassion, professionalism, integrity and excellence
• To cultivate knowledgeable and compassionate Otolaryngologists dedicated to providing extraordinary care to the communities, patients, and families they serve
• To prepare future Otolaryngologists with the clinical, humanistic, and professional skills necessary to deliver high quality care within the confines of effective and efficient resource utilization

The residency provides a wide exposure to techniques involving management of head and neck pathology, pediatric ENT, head and neck trauma, airway emergencies, as well as post-operative care of patients. ENT residents provide all Emergency Department call and inpatient consultation services with supervision from attending physicians.
