Department of Otolaryngology - Service Chief Reports

Richard M. Rosenfeld, MD, MPH, Director

The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, now in its 16th year of existence, has maintained continued excellence in patient care, teaching, and research for the 2006-2007 academic year. Access to top-notch pediatric anesthesia and support services remain a critical aspect of our success. Although Dr. Goldstein reduced her involvement with the Division late in 2006, she will soon be returning with emphasis on teaching and clinical research. Recruiting continues for additional fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologists, which will further increase the volume and scope of services provided.

Research and publication remain strong priorities within the Division. Peer-reviewed manuscripts were published in Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, and Archives of Otolaryngology. National involvement remains strong. Dr. Goldstein was the ASPO-appointee to the AAO-HNS CORE Study Section. Dr. Rosenfeld became Editor-in-Chief of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and serves on the AAO-HNS Board of Directors. We look forward to continued new and exciting events in the year to come.
