the varied aspects of otology/neurotology in the Department of Otolaryngology,
New York University Medical Center. These experiences include research,
participation in the operating room, the cochlear implant project,
teaching medical students and residents, publications and supervising
otology/neurotology clinics.
Research opportunities include the Acoustic Research Laboratory,
the Cochlear Implant and Auditory Brainstem Implant project, numerous
clinical studies and histopathological projects in the Temporal
Bone Laboratory. The Otology Fellow is expected to present a research
paper at a regional/national meeting based upon the above experiences
or an otology/neurotology clinical research project. The faculty
is very busy with national and international meetings and presentations
and the fellow has the opportunity to participate in these events.
The operative experience will include scrubbing in on all otology/neurotology
cases at Bellevue and the Veterans Administration Hospital. The

and in-patient cases at Bellevue and the Veterans Administration
Hospital under the auspices of the attending staff. The opportunity

Teaching responsibilities will include organizing the otology/neurotology
conference in conjunction with the attending and resident staffs,
participating with faculty in temporal bone surgery courses for
