Hearing Education Series
Implantable Hearing Devices:
When Hearing Aids Are Not Enough
with Jack J. Wazen MD, FACS
February 9th at 12pm
|
|
Featured Fellow: Dr. Mark Nichols |
|
Ear Research Foundation's 15th Fellow, 1993-1994 |
|
The Ear Research Foundation established the third Clinical Otolaryngology Fellowship in the United States in 1983, right after the House Institute and Michael E. Glasscock III fellowship programs . The Fellowship is a one-year program for board-eligible Otolaryngologists where fellows gain specialized training and cutting-edge experience. Our current fellow is number 48. Our newsletters will feature and honor fellows, their accomplishments and their fellowship with the Foundation.
The day Dr. Mark Nichols saw a two-year cochlear implant patient hear her mother's voice for the very first time, that is when he knew otolaryngology was going to be his life work.
Dr. Mark Nichols started his fellowship with the Ear Research Foundation in 1993 as the 15th fellow from The University of Texas Medical Branch, completing his Residency in Otolaryngology. Dr. Silverstein's publications were discussed during his residency, making it a priority for him to apply to the ERF fellowship position. Dr. Nichols can still recall his interview for the fellowship position, and Dr. Silverstein asking him how to treat bilateral Meniere's disease.
Dr. Nichols fellowship began, when former fellow Dr. Seth Rosenberg, joined Dr. Silverstein as a partner at Silverstein Institute. He recalls and liked how much they were able to accomplish with being in a private practice.
"I love the camaraderie between the staff at the clinic and the doctors and our weekly research conferences were memorable." Dr. Nichols remembered, "I feel very blessed to have had such excellent training in both surgical skills and decision making by Dr. Silverstein and Dr. Rosenberg, which has served me well over the past 30 years of medical practice.
Dr. Mark Nichols practices at Houston Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic. He and his wife Vina are happily married, with two children. Graham, was a college lacrosse player that made it to the NCAA Division II final four, and Rachel who graduates from college in May, and accepted a job in Denver. in his free time, he enjoys traveling, fly-fishing, skiing, attending concerts.
