After completing the otolaryngology residency program at IU School of Medicine, most physicians—about 60 percent—enter fellowship programs, such as endoscopic sinus surgery, facial plastics and reconstruction, head and neck cancer and otology/neurolology. The other 40 percent go straight to work. About half of IU School of Medicine otolaryngology residents go into academics; the other half go into private practice/hospital base.
