OhioHealth-Doctors Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a five-year osteopathic otolaryngology program based at Doctors Hospital, a community hospital in Columbus, with additional rotations at Nationwide Children's Hospital, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center (trauma/plastics), and the University of Cincinnati Head and Neck Surgery program, giving residents exposure to pediatric ENT, trauma, facial plastics, and neurotology alongside general community-based practice. Clinical training integrates osteopathic manipulative medicine with subspecialty resources including a temporal bone laboratory, Audiologic/Vestibular Laboratory, Allergy-Immunology Clinic, and Voice and Swallow department. Research is structured but supportive rather than central, with dedicated academic time in years two through four and institutional infrastructure through the OhioHealth Research Institute for scholarly projects, book chapters, and case reports. Graduate outcomes are predominantly general ENT practice in Ohio and surrounding states, with a minority pursuing fellowships (neurotology, rhinology/skull base, facial plastics), and the program explicitly emphasizes culture, mentorship, and long-term retention of residents into OhioHealth practice.
