Laryngology Fellowship Program

Dr Kost is the founder and director of the McGill University Fellowship training program in Laryngology. Making its debuts in 2010, the program has now graduated more than 12 fellows from over 10 countries around the world.

Dr Kost is also the director of the Voice and Swallowing Laboratory at the McGill University Health Center (MUHC). The laboratory is equipped with a direct and flexibility video endoscopy suite, swallowing with sensory testing equipment, KTP laser treatment station and all the equipment required for vocal fold injections.

The Voice and Swallowing Laboratory at the McGill University Health Center (MUHC) is widely recognized as a center of excellence and provides services to over 3000 referred patients annually.

The Laboratory is known to the entertainment industry and is closely tied to the McGill Schulich School of music and the University of Montreal school of music, providing advice and care to a range of professionals and young singers.

There are clinics five days/week and one to three laryngology OR days per week.

There are also voice clinics and ORs at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Neurolaryngology clinics are held once monthly with a neurologist. The volume of clinics and ORs is such that the residents have ample exposure to laryngology throughout their training and cannot attend more than a maximum of 2-3 halfday clinics/week.

As a result, the majority of the clinics are run by the staff alone. Similarly, complex surgical cases are performed by the attending staff. As such, there is ample clinical material to provide excellent training for the residents and one fellow.
