Special Features
We are a regional, mission-based program caring for the diverse population within Louisiana and gulf coast. We train residents to perform well in comprehensive otolaryngology practices that includes the head and neck, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, laryngology, rhinology and otology subspecialties. Residents are exposed to and outnumbered by many fellowship-trained faculty and are granted substantial graduated autonomy. Residents will work in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and New Orleans.
