Yesterday was my last day of residency! Had a full day of ear surgery to wrap up seven years of training. I concluded with my all-time favorite last case: Eustachian tube balloon dilation 😅

We are excited to share that our residency expansion request has been approved! We are looking to fill a PGY2 position for the 2025-26 academic year. Please send your CV and a cover letter to Susan Small (Susan.Small@pennmedicine.upenn.edu) if you are interested.

Excited to be faculty for this incredible upcoming course, apply now for 3 days of stellar skull base didactics and dissections
