UK Otolaryngology Bids Farewell to 2019 Chief Residents

At the end of June, University of Kentucky Otolaryngology held a banquet honoring our three chief residents. After five years, Drs. Nicole Colgrove, Kyle Fletcher, and Michael Kaufman successfully completed their residency training. Dr. Colgrove will go on to complete a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Fletcher will be joining Ephraim McDowell Ear, Nose, & Throat in Danville, KY alongside UK Oto alumnus Jonathan Doty, and Dr. Kaufman will be joining private practice with Wellstar Health in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Fritz was also recognized at the banquet for his excellence in resident teaching during the 2018-2019 academic year earning both the Faculty Teaching Award and the Resident Teaching Award. The Faculty teaching award is chosen by Dr. Comer, the program director, based on evaluation scores, while the Resident teaching award is chosen by the Otolaryngology residents. Our program is extremely grateful to have such an extraordinary surgeon and teacher. The banquet was an excellent way to end a very successful year in the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at University of Kentucky. We look forward to what we can achieve in the coming year.
