What this research studies
This program focuses on training residents and medical students in the field of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery by providing them with intensive research experiences and mentorship. Participants will learn how to integrate clinical practice with research, fostering a new generation of clinician-scientists who can advance patient care through scientific discovery. The program emphasizes recruiting trainees from underrepresented groups to ensure diversity in the field. Ultimately, the goal is to prepare these trainees to become independent researchers who can secure NIH funding and contribute to improving health outcomes.
