Summary
Recent laryngology fellowship graduates primarily pursue academic careers and engage in research. Most find satisfying practice environments and would repeat fellowship training.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Medical Education
- Career Development
Background:
- Laryngology fellowships have increased in number and diversity over the last 30 years.
- Understanding career paths of fellowship graduates is crucial for informing prospective trainees.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the career trajectories of recent laryngology fellowship graduates.
- To provide insights for residents considering fellowship training.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted.
- Directors of 27 US laryngology fellowships (2010-2019) were contacted to identify former fellows.
- Data was collected via surveys and internet searches.
Main Results:
- 183 fellows completed training between 2010-2019; 68% are in academic practice.
- Two-thirds participate in research; 72% remain in their first post-fellowship job.
- Women were more likely to enter academic practice than men.
Conclusions:
- Laryngology fellowship graduates often enter academia, contribute to research, and find ideal practice settings.
- Findings are valuable for residents, fellowship programs, and recruiters.

01:21Larynx
2.5K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

01:30Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
167
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
303
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

01:25Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway
472
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

01:28Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes
1.6K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
1.3K
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.
