Program Director can be contacted for information. The primary teaching hospitals include Hospital for Sick Children, Mount Sinai Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Science Centre and The Toronto Hospital. The program objective is to educate future specialists in this discipline including both those individuals destined for an academic career as well as community practitioners. 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. As such it encompasses many systems and involves a very broad area of medical practice, including communication disorders, hearing loss, neurotology, skull base surgery, head and neck surgery, endoscopy, facial and reconstructive surgery and allergy in all age groups.
Research is emphasized in the department.
