The Visiting Scholars Program provides an opportunity for international physicians to observe clinical care in outpatient, inpatient and operative settings. Visiting scholars are also invited and encouraged to attend our weekly teaching and patient planning conferences. Participating divisions within the Department of Otolaryngology include:
- Head & Neck Oncologic Surgery & Reconstructive Surgery
- Laryngology
- Otology/Neurotology
- Skull Base Surgery & Rhinology
Physicians from all over the globe are invited to apply. In 2023, we have had 12 visiting scholars from 5 different countries, including France, Italy, Korea, Lithuania, and South Africa.
Unfortunately, neither our department nor the University of Pittsburgh have funds available to support travel or housing expenses or to pay a stipend; therefore, all financial support will be the responsibility of the visiting scholar’s home institution and/or their own personal resources.
