In Otolaryngology, How Much Subspecialization Is Too Much?

Fellowship-Trained Residency Faculty

ENTtoday asked a random sampling of 20 U.S. otolaryngology residency programs how many of their faculty members are fellowship trained. We received responses from seven program directors, from large and small programs.

They reported that 152 of 184 faculty members, or about 83%, are fellowship trained, indicating that residents get far more exposure to work done by fellowship-trained physicians than by generalists.
