Physician - Otolaryngology - Skull Base and Ablative Head and Neck Surgery Fellow

Physician - Otolaryngology - Skull Base and Ablative Head and Neck Surgery Fellow

The Skull Base and Ablative Head and Neck Surgery Fellow is trained within a collaborative surgical environment that embraces a two-team surgery approach. The fellow is trained in open and endoscopic skull base surgery in a robust, high-volume institution. Fellows typically log over 150 skull base cases annually and help run a weekly case review and tumor board to discuss management strategies. Approximately 25% of the skull base cases are open, while the remaining are endoscopic and include advanced rhinology, CSF leaks, Pituitary tumors, expanded endonasal resections, and reconstructions. In addition to the robust skull base experience, the clinical experience also includes the spectrum of ablative head and neck oncologic surgical cases, including mucosal, salivary, and endocrine malignancies. The fellow is expected to participate in the head and neck tumor board, engage in clinical research projects and attend conferences during the fellowship. The fellow has an Instructor-Practice faculty appointment and functions as a junior faculty as well as a fellow trainee. This allows the fellow to independently staff surgical cases and teach residents.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery has been a distinct academic department since its inception. This long-standing departmental autonomy has provided the opportunity for accelerated growth and expansion of the diverse activities associated with patient care, research and education. The department has created a desirable patient care model that has enabled continued expansion of patient volume. This large and diverse patient population provides a rich environment for graduate medical education and research.

The educational mission within our department consists of medical student and resident training as well as several fellowship programs. Research in basic science and clinical medicine is also highly encouraged and has resulted in numerous national presentations and publications. We provide a wide variety of educational programs, ranging from post-graduate fellowships in clinical and research activities to opportunities for interested high school students. Our focus is on providing the best possible patient care in an excellent teaching environment.
