Otolaryngology Alumni

Excerpts from the January 5, 2023 Newsletter

graphic elementWe are very pleased to release our first alumni newsletter. This is the first of our planned biannual informational updates for our department’s illustrious alumni. Our department’s ongoing efforts in maintaining a close relationship between current and former residents began with the initiation of the Frank E. Lucente resident research and alumni day some 15 years ago. Dr. Bentsianov (class of 2002) has served as the department’s Alumni chair since that time as well. Our alumni day annually showcases our resident’s strong commitment to research with constructive input and commentary from an invited guest lecturer who is a leader in our field and one invited esteemed alumnus. We look forward to this year’s Resident Research and Alumni Day on Thursday, June 1, with invited guests Dr. Neal Futran (Chair of Otolaryngology at the University of Washington and Dr. Marissa Earley (class of 2015).

We welcome emails from all of our alumni with updates about their lives both personal and professional so we can keep up to date and maintain the spirit of friendship and teamwork that is the hallmark of our program. We look forward to this year’s Alumni and Resident Research Day on Thursday, June 1, 2023.

Our current update will focus on our newest residents and our most senior residents. In July 2022, we welcomed the new PGY-1 interns: James Cochrane, Matthew Mendelsohn and Michele Wong who all graduated from the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. We are very proud of the current chief residents—Dr. Rahul Gulati, who will pursue a fellowship in head and neck surgery at the University of Iowa and Dr. Michael Weber—who will pursue a fellowship in otology at Pittsburgh Ear Associates.
