Under Dr. Pillsbury\u2019s direction, the Division of Otolaryngology\/Head &#038; Neck Surgery became a department in 2001. Through 2010, we have had 108 residents graduate from our residency program. We currently have 18 full-time clinicians and 6 full-time research scientists, and 1 part-time research scientist. Over the years, our Department has had a high number of graduating residents continue their careers in academic medicine, 9 of which continue to serve and educate our residents, patients and the community through the Department.
