Residents rotate to Lahey Clinic, UMASS, and both Boston Medical Center campuses. Because Oto-3 and Oto-4 Resident rotations do not over-lap, Oto-3 residents are always senior to other residents on a given rotation and function as "chief". One resident functions as a "float". Research projects may be continued.
