Jahrsdoerfer Visiting Professor
Dr. Robert Jahrsdoerfer
Through the generosity of the Wolff family, Paul and Carol Wolff, who established a lecture series honoring Dr. Robert Jahrsdoerfer, the University of Virginia Department of Otolaryngology has welcomed the best and brightest Otologists/Neurotologists to spend a day with our residents.
The Jahrsdoerfer Visiting Professorship, now in its 13th year, is an opportunity for our residents to learn from the best ear surgeons in the country. The day includes lectures by the visiting professor, case presentations delivered by the residents for discussion with the guest professor, and a keynote lecture delivered to the Department and Audiology Division. Residents are excused from all clinical activities, and, in recent years, have drilled temporal bones to learn temporal bone surgical anatomy with our guest.
Residents agree that this is a highlight of the academic year – the opportunity to drill temporal bones in the simulation lab and to “pick the ears and brains” of some of our country’s top otologists.
The Department greatly appreciates the generosity of the Wolff family and the time and expertise of our guest professors.
