Data regarding applicants to Oto\u2010HNS programs as well as Oto\u2010HNS residents in the United States from 2008 to 2017 were analyzed from the Electronic Residency Application Service, National Resident Matching Program, and Journal of the American Medical Association.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Between 2008 and 2018, the number of Oto\u2010HNS residency programs and residency positions offered increased from 105 to 112 and from 273 to 315, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between applicant sex in 2008 to 2012 compared to 2013 to 2018 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt;\u2009.05), but significantly more females made up the residency workforce from 2013 to 2018 compared to 2008 to 2012 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;\u2009.001). However, the percentage increase in female residents from 2008 to 2017 was only 6.1% (29.8% to 35.9%).
