Department of Otolaryngology - Faculty

Volunteer Clinical Staff and Other Contributing Physicians

The Volunteer Clinical Staff consists of numerous otolaryngologists and other physicians in the New York Metropolitan area who participate in the educational programs of the department and have a major role in both resident and medical student teaching and in numerous clinical and administrative activities. Among the activities in which they are involved are the following: teaching in the operating rooms and clinics staffed by the department at Long Island College Hospital, the University Hospital of Brooklyn, and Maimonides Hospital; active participation in Grand Rounds and other weekly educational conferences at Long Island College Hospital; attendance at the quarterly meetings of the Otolaryngologic Section of the Kings County Medical Society; training residents in their office practices; cooperation in scientific studies and publications; support of departmental research and education projects by contributing to the periodic social and fund-raising activities of the foundation; and participation in various important committee and medical board activities at the hospitals involved in our program. The rapid growth and development of the department continues to offer more opportunities for involvement in these activities.
