Otolaryngology Alumni

Excerpts from the January 5, 2023 Newsletter

We are very pleased to release our first alumni newsletter. This is the first of our planned biannual informational updates for our department鈥檚 illustrious alumni. Our department鈥檚 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鈥檚 Alumni chair since that time as well. Our alumni day annually showcases our resident鈥檚 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鈥檚 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).
