Our emphasis on work/life balance is an important reason residents choose URMC. A focus on trainees well-being enables you to learn and thrive in Rochester.
"My interview day was my first time ever in Rochester, NY. I was immediately drawn to the beautiful and friendly city. During my interviews, I connected with the faculty and their warmth and authenticity made me feel at home. It was important to me to find a program where the residents received excellent training across all subspecialties of ENT. At the U of R, it was clear that they all valued teaching residents highly. It was evident that the residents were a close-knit group that were fun to hang out with and supported each other through the ups and downs of residency. Mentorship is something that has always been important to me. During my interview, I met female faculty members that I was confident would be excellent role models and help me on my path to becoming the best physician I can be."
"After being in Rochester for over a year now, I am more certain than ever that I will be an excellent otolaryngologist at the end of my 5 years here. I am so thankful to be part of this program."
