Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Residency

Our residents engage in cutting edge research, advanced simulation and patient care to develop comprehensive knowledge and surgical expertise, allowing them to become future leaders in our field.

New name, same mission

We are proud to announce that Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) is now Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University. While our name has changed, our commitment to building a healthier community remains the same. Through our nationally recognized Graduate Medical Education programs, we continue to provide comprehensive, community-based training across multiple hospitals and clinics. This integration with ODU enhances our research and collaboration opportunities, further empowering us to address healthcare disparities and advance medical education.

Waitzer hall is a multi-story building with mirrored walls and is surrounded by trees.

What sets us apart?

Gain a well-rounded training experience in all aspects of otolaryngology, including otology/neurotology, head and neck oncology, pediatric otolaryngology, laryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, rhinology, general otolaryngology, allergy, audiology and speech pathology.

From cadaveric, simulated and operating-room surgical training to research presentations at national meetings, our residency training prepares graduates to excel in ear, nose and throat practice and subspecialties as educators, researchers and clinicians.

We seek to recruit and develop a diverse group of residents and provide a safe and productive environment to foster growth and progression through training. We believe this allows the best opportunity for our faculty, residents and staff to work together to best care for our diverse population locally in Hampton Roads and tertiary care throughout the mid Atlantic region.
