Otolaryngology Residency Program

Adan Fuentes, DO Program Director: Adan Fuentes, DO
Number of Positions: 5
ACGME Accreditation Status: Continued Accredited


Mission:
The goal of the Kettering Health Otolaryngology Surgery program is to help our residents obtain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to become competent comprehensive otolaryngologists or fellowship trained surgeons. The program uses the ACGME program requirements in the preparation of educational outcomes for its graduates and has successfully attained accreditation in 2018.

2019-2020 Academic Year -1 (PGY1) 1 (PGY2), 1 (PGY3), 1 (PGY4), 1 (PGY5)

The KHN Otolaryngology Surgery program is a 5-year program which takes 1 resident per year into the program.

The goal of the Kettering Health Otolaryngology program is to teach our residents how to not only excel surgically but also provide exceptional care to the communities they end up serving. Our program exposes the residents to numerous healthcare systems in an extremely diverse patient population. In keeping with the Kettering Health philosophy, we have a responsibility to promote positive change within the community we serve. Ultimately this exposure, coupled with this philosophy, will prepare the residents for any community-based or academic practice in the future.

The residency incorporates a comprehensive education in both the inpatient and outpatient settings to help prepare our residents for their future practices. Inpatient time is spent between two large hospital systems, Kettering Health, and Premier Health. Outpatient time is spent in multiple clinical offices in the Dayton area as well as a surgery center.

Residents are required to attend weekly didactic sessions and educational opportunities including temporal bone lab, tumor board, journal club, case conferences, and morbidity and mortality conferences. We also pride ourselves in expanding our knowledge with multi-disciplinary didactics combining different residency programs like Neurology, General Surgery, Anesthesia and Plastic Surgery.

With close supervision, residents are responsible for managing all types of otolaryngology cases in the emergency room, on the floors, in the clinics, and in the operating room. A buddy call system is used to help transition the intern into full call responsibility starting second year. Autonomy in all patient care settings and the operating room increases in a graduated fashion and is directly supervised by the program director and other faculty.

Residents will be encouraged and, at times, required to attend various conferences around the country. Some of these conferences and courses include cadaveric sinus courses, airway courses, the AOCMF facial trauma course, the HYPAR allergy course, AOCOO-HNS annual meeting and the AAO-HNS annual meeting.

In addition to the time spent with pediatric ENT specialists at Dayton Children's Hospital during the first two training years, residents will receive further advanced pediatric training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital during the PGY-3 year. There is also a two-month rotation in Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati.

The residents also have access to several sim labs. In addition to our dedicated monthly temporal bone lab, there also is unique sim lab training with endoscopic ear surgery. A cadaveric dissection lab is also available to all surgical residents.

Residents train at the following locations:

  • Kettering Health Hospitals
  • Premier Health Hospitals
  • Dayton Children's Hospital
  • Cincinnati Children's Hospital
  • Good Samaritan Hospital

Our residents have successfully attained fellowships in a wide variety of sub-specialties that includes neuro-otology, rhinology and skull base surgery, laryngology/professional voice, pediatric otolaryngology, head and neck surgical oncology, cosmetic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Our Alumni have attained faculty/academic positions at leading otolaryngology institutions which include University of Pittsburgh, USC, UCLA, New Mexico VA, and Wake Forest. Additionally, our graduates are also rooted in independent private practices throughout the country. Regardless of affiliation, our graduates have taken a commitment to become lifelong educators. Two of our graduates are currently serving as program directors in ACGME programs.

The ENT program is looking for applicants who are team players and have a strong work ethic. We strongly recommend that you take time to visit our program for a two-week rotation during the audition season.
