Job Description

Fellowship Opportunity in Facial Plastic Surgery & Advanced Rhinologic Surgery

The Department of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery at our organization in Southern California is on the lookout for a fellow specializing in Facial Plastic Surgery and Advanced Rhinologic Surgery. This one-year fellowship offers a comprehensive, high-volume academic referral practice with a strong emphasis on Nasal Surgery, and we highly encourage participation in mission electives.

Our department is staffed by four full-time, fellowship-trained Rhinologic and Skull Base surgeons, alongside three facial plastic surgeons. The fellowship will primarily focus on Nasal Surgery, including extensive experience in endoscopic sinus surgery, anterior skull base procedures, and selected reconstructive rhinoplasty cases.

Training will also encompass nasal and facial trauma, which will play a significant role in this fellowship experience.

While the program provides extensive training in both Facial Plastic Surgery and Advanced Rhinology, priority will be given to reconstructive cases over cosmetic and clinic-based procedures.

As a fellow, you will collaborate with faculty at our institution, assisting in various cases. You will have the autonomy to select your cases, ensuring a well-rounded, fellow-directed experience. Intraoperative teaching for residents is expected, and participation in a multidisciplinary Skull Base Tumor Board is mandatory. Additionally, fellows are encouraged to engage with standardized curriculum reading opportunities.

Compensation and Benefits

The starting salary for this position ranges from $90,000 to $104,000, based on experience and faculty rank. This figure represents the base compensation and does not include variable compensation or additional productivity incentives, which are determined by departmental compensation plans. Detailed discussions regarding compensation will occur during the recruitment process.

Our benefits package includes:

• Generous Retirement Contributions
• Comprehensive Medical and Dental Coverage
• Competitive Vacation and Sick Leave
• CME Days and Funding
• Paid Malpractice Insurance
• Paid Life Insurance
• Federal Loan Repayment (if eligible)
• Physician Loan Repayment
