On interview day, the candidate has between three and six, 15-20 minute interviews with individual committee members. A personal letter is required and should include reasons for interest in otolaryngology, career goals and perceived strengths and weaknesses. At least three reference letters are required. No limit to number you may submit. We recommend references from academic physicians but we also ask for one letter from a non physician.
Every reference letter is read.
We accept references from senior residents. Late references will be accepted until the interview date for those candidates short-listed for interview. Extra Documents A reference letter from a non physician should be forwarded directly to the program by November 30. We would suggest that you send reprints of articles that you have had published, by November 30. Additional Comments Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery is a broadly based discipline involved in the diagnosis and management of disease occurring above the clavicle and largely outside the orbit and cranial cavity.
