Otolaryngology becomes department
A new Department of Otolaryngology (ORL) - Head & Neck Surgery was approved by the Board of Trustees of Stanford University on Oct. 14, and Robert Jackler, who recently joined Stanford as the chief of the division of ORL, is the new department's first chair.
ORL previously was administratively housed in the Department of Surgery.
"Dr. Jackler, who is an internationally recognized leader in this field, is uniquely qualified to serve in this important role. I am pleased for him and for Stanford that he has agreed to take on this new responsibility,' said Philip Pizzo, Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the School of Medicine and professor of pediatrics and of microbiology and immunology.
"Although this department is new for Stanford, it should be noted that more than 90 percent of medical schools have such a departmental status for this area," Pizzo said.
"I want to thank Dr. Tom Krummel, chair of the Department of Surgery, for his important help and support in the initiation of this new departmental status," the dean said.
