Why Otolaryngology?
The field offers a unique blend of complex anatomy, impactful surgery, and the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients. Within the field, I was drawn to rhinology for its intricate procedures and the ability to improve quality of life for patients with both sinus and skull base conditions.
Why UNC?
The university offers a strong academic environment, diverse case volume, and commitment to mentorship. The program’s collaborative culture and emphasis on both clinical excellence and research made it the ideal place for me to continue my training and grow as a specialist.
