Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery Residents at UPMC Hamot

Class of 2023

Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine

“As far as residencies go, our program is top-tier. During residency, I was part of a cohesive team that worked together to provide high-quality patient care. This included inpatient care, surgical intervention, and outpatient clinical work. I was trained in many techniques across all aspects of general ENT. Through my five years of residency, I became an experienced otolaryngologist who is able to perform a wide variety of surgical interventions and take care of a diverse patient population.

After graduating as a resident from this program, I was fortunate enough to stay as an attending physician. I am very proud of our program as well as residents. They perform at a very high level in all aspects of medicine. I as well as the other attendings place an emphasis on resident education. This includes performing a multitude of surgeries, up-to-date medical management and community focused healthcare.

Through hard work and dedicated training, this residency program produces surgeons who are able to go into communities and provide life-changing medicine.”


Class of 2020

Andrew W. Agnew, DO - PGY 3 Andrew W. Agnew, DO
Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine

"I am grateful to have had the opportunity to train at UPMC Hamot. The program offers a large surgical volume, a high level of autonomy, and a significant amount of one-on-one operative training with attending physicians. While most of our graduates pursue comprehensive otolaryngology in the private practice or employed setting, there is no pressure to pursue a particular career track. You will have the opportunity to see a well run private practice during your training. The faculty and my fellow residents supported me fully in my head and neck surgery fellowship aspirations.

With one resident a year, the residents in this program learn to rely on one another and form lasting bonds. Some of my best friends to this day are also my former co residents. Erie is a small city but is a regional referral center. There is no shortage of pathology or cases to go around. Upon graduation, you will be well trained surgically and comfortable with medical decision making for any patient within the scope of otolaryngology. There is no substitute for experience, and the faculty in Erie are some of the most experienced you will find. I feel the quality of training I received is second to none."


Class of 2019

Shane Griffith, DO - PGY 3 Shane Griffith, DO, MS
University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine

"I am very happy to be a resident at UPMC Hamot. While Erie may seem like a small town, our residency covers all the hospitals and addresses 100 percent of the otolaryngologic care here. We have an incredible surgical caseload and typically meet all of our key indicator requirements prior to even starting our PGY5 year. The hands-on general otolaryngology training here couldn’t be stronger."
