Personal Statement: WashU Otolaryngology offers everything I could want in a training program – a tremendous operative experience, strong representation of all sub-specialties, and research support that is second to none. For me, however, the most important part is the people. The residents and faculty are very welcoming, which makes the program feel like a family.
