Otolaryngology Residency Program

The SAUSHEC (San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium) Residency in and Neck Surgery in San Antonio is a combined residency for the Army and Air Force. Together the services select three applicants to enter the program as PG-1's each July. Residents spend approximately equal time at each Otolaryngology-Head medical center (Brooke Army and Wilford Hall) throughout the first three years of training. Eight months of the final year of training is spent at Wilford Hall and four months at Brooke Army. Additional rotations include MD Anderson Cancer Center, Darnell Army Medical Center, and the Audie Murphy VA Hospital.

Historically, the two independent training programs at Wilford Hall and Brooke combined in 1995 and the first residents to enter the combined program started their training in July of 1996. Since 1995, the combined program has seen 100% of the graduating residents sit for and pass their board exams. The average experience of residents graduating from the integrated program with three residents per year group is projected to be near 1700 surgical cases.

The teaching faculty: There are currently eleven staff assigned to Wilford Hall and four assigned to Brooke with fellowship trained staff in Head and Neck Oncology, Neuro-otology, Pediatric, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Laryngology, Sinus/Skull Base, and Sleep Medicine. All the faculty surgeons practice general Otolaryngology in addition to their fields of specialty interest.
