Otolaryngology Fellowship
The Otolaryngology Fellowship at Children's National Hospital was established in 1984 to prepare fellows to become recognized leaders in the field of pediatric otolaryngology. This fellowship is a one-year training program that will provide a solid foundation in all aspects of pediatric otolaryngology clinical care and research. In addition, fellows will receive teaching experience through exposure to otolaryngology residents, medical students and other specialty trainees. This fellowship is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Fellows gain exposure to a wide range of disorders that are encountered in clinical practice and a large volume of experience will involve the management of middle ear disorders and airway problems. In addition, fellows gain experience in diagnosis and management of children with disorders of the paranasal sinuses, congenital abnormalities and tumors of the head and neck, craniofacial anomalies, voice and speech disorders, vascular malformations and aerodigestive diseases.
