A message from the Chair

We have had many clinical and academic accomplishments. Clinical research, basic science research, translational, and educational initiatives in our Department have continued to expand. The number of peer–reviewed publications and successful research grant applications have steadily grown. The value of these research grants has markedly increased. On this website, you will find an impressive list of peer-reviewed publications authored by our Departmental members.

Our Department remains committed to excellence in patient care, research and innovation, continuous quality improvement, and medical education. It is an honour for me to serve as Department Chair. I hope you find our website informative. For further information about our Department, please see our updated Departmental Newsletter, Headlight, and our YouTube Virtual Welcome University of Ottawa Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
