Training Sites
Residency Rotation Sites and Site Descriptions Each rotation is 3 months in duration. At the University of Minnesota, residents participate in mentorship rotations in otology and neurotology as a PGY-2, pediatrics as a PGY-4, and head and neck as a PGY-5. At the Children’s Hospital of Minnesota, residents participate in a second mentorship rotation in pediatrics at a PGY-2. All other rotations at the University and at other sites are modeled after the team approach. We feel that each of these rotations gives our residents exposure to a variety of patients, pathology, and surgical cases that is among the strongest in the country. In addition to clinical rotations, there are two 3-month research rotations during the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years that are designed to enhance residents’ abilities to design projects, write grant applications, synthesize data, and prepare manuscripts and presentations. Significant basic science and clinical research opportunities exist at each rotation site for residents to participate in research within and outside of their protected research time. 1) University of Minnesota Medical Center/University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital: Site Description: Tertiary care institution and major academic center.
