DEPARTMENT OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY – HEAD AND NECK SURGERY
Department Head Report
Dr. P. Kerr
Our Department has grown rapidly over the past few years. With
the addition of 4 new academic surgeons and several new clinical
and academic programs, including Cochlear Implantation, BAHA,
Clinic for Sleep Disordered Breathing, and the Robotics and
Simulation Laboratory there has been tremendous change. I’d
like to extend the warmest of thanks to all my colleagues and our
support staff for their outstanding efforts in accomplishing these
goals! Our focus will be shifting from growth to organization and
team building in the coming years.
I am proud to be able to share the following report of activities for 2010-11. Some of the
highlights are:
Clinical Program
•
2010/11 brought to fruition Manitoba’s own Cochlear Implant/BAHA Program. Due to
commence in fall 2011, this program is the result of an exhaustive effort by many
individuals. Particular thanks to Dr. Darren Leitao, and Mr. Eric Mann for their supreme
efforts in this endeavour. Darren Leitao is the Director of the CI Program. Dr. Leitao will
be the primary pediatric CI surgeon; Dr. Jordan Hochman the primary adult CI surgeon;
and Dr. Les Garber will manage the BAHA Program, which has already commenced.
•
Dr. Adrian Gooi was recruited back to us from his 2 years of extended training. Dr. Gooi
completed a mini fellowship in endoscopic surgery at Dalhousie, and a formal fellowship
in Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University of Iowa. He is nearing completion of a
Masters of Medical Education and has joined our department as the new Undergraduate
Director. He has opened his clinical practice at the MB Clinic and hopes to do a blend of
adult and pediatric Otolaryngology. A special thank you to Dr. Mark Barker for his
assistance in accommodating Dr. Gooi’s practice.
Postgraduate Medical Education
•
Dr. Les Garber completed his term as Postgraduate Program Director this year. He has
served 6 years and steered our program successfully through several reviews over his
tenure. The quality of our residents and the friendly atmosphere in the program is a
reflection of Dr. Garber’s personality and how well he has related to the residents through
the years – a job well done.
•
Dr. Donna Sutherland will become our new Program Director at the end of the academic
year. Dr. Sutherland has consistently been one of our best educators, culminating in her
award as PARIM Educator of the Year in 2010-11. Congratulations Dr. Sutherland!
6
ANNUAL REPORT 2010 – 2011
Undergraduate Medical Education
•
Dr. Donna Sutherland’s leadership successfully guided our program through the
intensive review of the University’s medical school in the spring of 2011. Dr. Sutherland
is serving her last year as Undergraduate Program Director, and will be assuming the
Postgraduate Directorship at the end of the academic year. The level of organization that
she has imparted to the Undergraduate Program is unprecedented, and her efforts are
most appreciated.
•
Dr. Adrian Gooi has been appointed our new Undergraduate Director, commencing
2011-12. Dr. Gooi brings a wealth of skills to the position, both interpersonally, and with
his Master’s in Education.
Research
Dr. Brian Blakley continues to serve as our Director of Research. Our primary areas of focus
remain hearing loss, functional outcomes after management of H&N cancer, and robotics and
simulation.
The most significant development in the department over the past year has been the
establishment of the Robotics and Simulation Laboratory at the HSC under the direction of Dr.
Jordan Hochman.
Again, heartfelt thanks to all of those who have helped advance the Department over the past
year!

DEPARTMENT OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY – HEAD AND NECK SURGERY
Postgraduate Director Report
The Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery has
had a very busy educational calendar year. Our two graduating
senior residents were successful in obtaining their Royal College
of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada fellowship examinations
and have gone on to start their professional careers. Dr. Eric
Meen is currently doing a fellowship in rhinology and skull base
surgery at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Taeed
Quddusi is pursuing employment in Australia as part of what is
going to be the start of a very colorful career. The department welcomed two new
residents July 1st. Dr. Dana Wong is from the University of British Columbia and Dr.
Diana Khalil is from McMaster University.
A very successful Departmental Research Day was held on May 5th and 6th, 2011. Dr.
Jeremy Freeman from the University of Toronto provided interesting presentations on:
“Shifting Paradigms in the Management of Thyroid Cancer”
And
“Current Concepts in the Management of Hyperparathyroidism”
and also acted as adjudicator for our resident research presentations. The winner of
this year’s book prize was Dr. Zameel Dewji for his presentation on:
“Do Omega-3 Fatty Acids Prevent the Progression of Sensorineural Hearing Loss?”
We would like to acknowledge the efforts of Dr. F. Gigi Osler, currently the Section Head
of Otolaryngology at the St. Boniface General Hospital, for her contributions to the
postgraduate training program.
At Dr. Osler’s suggestion, the Department of
Otolaryngology staff and residents participated in High Performance Physician sessions
with Cal Botterill and Jason Brooks. Dr. Osler was instrumental in organizing and
overseeing a skills station for this year’s CaRMS interviews.
She also initiated a
resident alumni reception for our department at the 2011 annual Canadian Society of
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery meeting. This was very well received and will
become an annual event.
As of December 1, 2011, I will be stepping down as program director. Dr. Donna
Sutherland has been appointed to this position and will be a very effective leader of the
training program. I would also like to acknowledge the administrative support of Rhonda
Payne who recently left us to pursue another job in postgraduate medical education in
the Department of Child Health and administrative assistant, Emi Okamoto. We have
been very fortunate in our selection of past and present residents. They have been and
are a very cohesive, amiable, intelligent and professional group of individuals. It has
been my pleasure to help them reach their goals as academic and clinical
otolaryngologists.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 – 2011
Research Director Report
The Research Program of the Department of Otolaryngology
remains strong and seems to be appreciated by the residents
and faculty. The main goal of the program is to expose residents
to some areas of research for the purpose of facilitating
application of research findings to patient care. The focus is on
translational research, incorporating some basic and clinical
research that has the potential to help patients. The philosophy
of internal funding is functioning efficiently and should be
seriously considered in other research environments.
The most significant progress this past year has been in collaboration locally and
internationally. International collaboration has resulted in two papers in high impact
journals:
Dr. Jordan Hochman has been instrumental I establishing a multidepartment team
including the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Anatomy that is working in
robotics and simulation. A new laboratory is forthcoming in 2011/2012!
