Congratulations to Our 2022 Graduating Residents

“We are proud of this year’s graduates, both of whom have become great otolaryngologists equipped with the medical knowledge and surgical skill sets to deliver excellent patient care. I am happy that they both have found great jobs in their preferred destinations to allow them to practice medicine in ways that are meaningful to them and the patients they will care for,” says William C. Yao, MD, program director of the otorhinolaryngology residency and an associate professor in the department.
