Acknowledgments
We want to thank our staff for their assistance in compiling the data used in this report. Our division chiefs, medical directors, and program leads were engaged in reflecting on the accomplishments of our first five years as a Department in the Duke School of Medicine, which could not have been possible without the hard work of our faculty, staff, and trainees.
We are grateful for the tremendous partnership with the School of Medicine and collaborating departments, Duke University Health System, the Private Diagnostic Clinic, and now Duke Health Integrated Practice, as we implemented the vision of a new Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences, the results of which are described in this report.
