Training the Next Generation of Leaders
Research and didactic training has long been a mission of the Institute. Research training opportunities are available for medical students, residents, graduate students, fellows and visiting scientists.
The Founders Day Symposium
Originally named the Lawrence-Hawkins Symposium, The Founders Day symposium was established in 2004 to honor the research legacy of the KHRI's founding faculty members, Drs. Merle Lawrence and Joseph Hawkins. This one-day event is devoted to basic science and clinically related presentations by students, fellows and residents of the department and highlighted with a morning presentation by a distinguished alumnus.
Training Opportunities
Michigan Otolaryngology Research Education Program
The Michigan Otolaryngology Research Education (MORE) program provides the research education necessary to enable participating residents and medical students to develop successful careers as clinician-scientists and play key roles in the translation of research advances into evidence-based, state-of-the-art health care for patients.
The program takes advantage of the infrastructure of one of the nation’s pre-eminent research institutions and a longstanding departmental commitment to research excellence to create the next generation of clinician-scientists.
Hearing, Balance and Chemical Senses (HBCS) Program
The HBCS program provides mentorship and training for students who are interested in becoming leading research scientists in the fields of hearing, balance and the chemical senses. The program aims to train these scientists to obtain academic positions, compete for research funding and effectively manage research laboratories.
