Medical Residency

Our medical residency program emphasizes theoretical and practical activities. It aims at ample exposure of the otolaryngologist in training to all areas of the specialty, while providing all technical and material subsidies for the diagnosis and treatment of otolaryngological and head and neck diseases. Clinical and surgical practice extends also off-campus, with activities in the State Hospital of Sumaré, Specialty clinic (AME) in Santa Bárbara D’Oeste, and the Regional Hospital of Piracicaba and the Regional Hospital of Divinolândia. The program stimulates critical thinking in research and international exchange. Students are encouraged to take part in research projects and graduate programs at the School of Medical Sciences of Unicamp, by the end of the three-year residency program, to obtain master or doctorate degrees.
