About Us
Our department was founded in 1968 to provide specialty ear, nose and throat care and training at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Over the years, several changes have taken place, including the development of several otolaryngology subspecialties. The department has faculty who specialize in nine areas, including: general otolaryngology, head and neck cancer, otology, laryngology, pediatric otolaryngology, sinus, rhinology, facial plastics, and prosthetic reconstruction of facial defects.
Our goal is to produce well-rounded, ethical, outstanding physicians who go on to make enormous positive impacts on the lives of their patients, their communities, and the specialty itself. We strive to conduct research with our trainees in a way that answers critical questions and fosters ideas and skills that encourage future endeavors both inside and outside of training.
Through high-quality research and scholarship, we will be able to deliver world-class medical care while simultaneously creating an environment where trainees can learn the most advanced methods and ideas in otolaryngology. Our department aims to be recognized, nationally and internationally, as respected and utilized leaders in our field, while maintaining and expanding our integral and vital services to the local community.
