Fellowship Opportunity in Facial Plastic Surgery & Advanced Rhinologic Surgery

Our organization is currently looking for a fellow in Facial Plastic Surgery and Advanced Rhinologic Surgery within the Department of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery. This one-year fellowship offers a comprehensive, high-volume academic referral practice with a primary focus 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 experience emphasizes nasal surgery, including extensive endoscopic sinus procedures, anterior skull base surgeries, and selected reconstructive rhinoplasty cases.

Additionally, training in nasal and facial trauma will be a significant aspect of this fellowship. While there is an opportunity for broad training in both Facial Plastic and Advanced Rhinology, priority will be given to reconstructive cases over cosmetic and clinic-based procedures.

• Select cases to ensure a well-rounded, fellow-directed experience.
• Engage in intraoperative teaching for residents.
• Participate in the Multidisciplinary Skull Base Tumor Board.
• Utilize standardized curriculums for reading and learning 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 additional variable compensation or productivity bonuses, which are determined by departmental compensation plans. Further details regarding compensation will be discussed during the recruitment process.

Our benefits package includes:

• Generous retirement contributions
• Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
• Competitive vacation and sick leave
• Continuing Medical Education (CME) days and funding
• Paid malpractice insurance
• Paid life insurance
• Federal loan repayment options (if eligible)
• Physician loan repayment opportunities
