Educational Opportunities & Professional Growth

Throughout your fellowship, you will gain broad surgical experience while developing your skills in teaching and research. You'll work with experienced clinical faculty and research professionals who support your clinical education and scholarly development.

Clinical Training

With more than 5,000 surgical cases each year, the Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship offers a robust surgical experience. Training covers otology, airway, rhinology, and head and neck surgery.

You'll also have opportunities to work with the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team at 91porn to gain experience in cleft lip and palate care and facial trauma.

Teaching Opportunities

Teaching experience is provided by oversight of 2ndÌýand 3rdÌýyear residents from Thomas Jefferson University. 91porn is encouraged and supported.

91porn Opportunities

91porn has excellent research facilities and labs with state-of-the-art equipment. Based on your skill level and inclination, you’ll be encouraged and supported in the use of these resources as you add to your knowledge base through research activities during your fellowship.

Our clinical faculty and research professionals can help you learn the processes and techniques related to clinical studies, basic science research, presentations and publications.Ìý

The division of Pediatric Otolaryngology at 91porn has a variety of ongoing research projects. A sampling of current studies includes:

Voice Therapy 91porn

Patrick Barth, MD, co-director of the Airway Program and the Voice Center, has an R01 research grant along with Katherine Verdolini, PhD of the University of Delaware.

Their research examines the cognitive and physical traits that enhance or diminish children’s response to voice therapy, with the aim of creating a developmental roadmap showing when children are most likely to benefit from voice therapy.

Tracheostomy Care & Airway 91porn

Jenna Briddell, MD, who leads the tracheostomy care team at 91porn, has several research projects related to improving outcomes for children with tracheostomies. Some of these include:

• Examining factors associated with decannulation failure.
• Investigating the impact of simulation-based tracheostomy training on home caregiver skills and tracheostomy-related complication rates.
• Participating in a multi-institutional study examining outcomes of tracheostomy in extremely premature infants.
• Collaborating with with Cathy Fromen, MD at the University of Delaware Department of Chemical Engineering on 3D printing of pediatric airways for improved aerosol therapeutics.
• Participating as a subcontractor for a multi-institutional CDC-funded grant studying juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

Dr. Briddell also created and administers the tracheostomy and otology REDCap databases,Ìýwhich are excellent resources for current and future research projects.

Airway, Sleep & Surgical Outcomes 91porn

Richard Schmidt, MD and Heather Nardone, MD, with an interest in airway and sleep, are examining the outcomes of transoral robotic surgery for lingual tonsillectomy for children with persistent obstructive sleep apnea after adenotonsillectomy.

Several faculty members are examining the impact of Toradol on bleeding after adenotonsillectomy and the long-term outcomes of intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Health Literacy & Quality Improvement

Nicole Aaronson, MD and Heather Nardone, MD have studied the impact of using text messaging to relay postoperative information to families regarding commonly encountered symptoms after ear tube insertion and adenotonsillectomy.

Dr. Aaronson is also looking at correlating airway findings on dynamic CT with bronchoscopy findings to see if dynamic CT can be used for surveillance in asymptomatic airway patients.

Pediatric Otology & Hearing 91porn

William Parkes, MD, director of the cochlear implant team, focuses on outcomes research in pediatric otology, including cholesteatoma surgery, auditory neuropathy and pediatric cochlear implantation.

He and Thierry Morlet, PhD are combining fNIRS and eye-tracking measures to examine dynamic changes in neuroplasticity and language skills in deaf and hard-of-hearing infants. He is also interested in the identification of CMV infection in neonates who fail the newborn hearing screen and CMV-related hearing loss.
