 Job Description

Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group, Department of Otolaryngology is currently seeking a fellow in Advanced Head & Neck Oncologic Surgery and Microvascular Reconstruction beginning in July 2019. This is a recently restructured one-year program for residents having residency exposure to Head & Neck and Microvascular Surgery. Two-year commitments are also considered on a case-by-case basis respecting the resident’s experience, future ambitions, and research interests. Exposure to international fellows is likely, and mission electives are strongly encouraged. This candidate will be the sixth fellow in our program—all of which still practice advanced Head & Neck / Microvascular Surgery. 

Currently, 5 full-time fellowship trained Head & Neck surgical oncologists practice at Loma Linda University Medical Center, 3 performing microvascular reconstructions and the others focusing on endocrine and ablative surgery. Two additional Head & Neck oncologic surgeons practice at our VA facility. Two endoscopic skull base surgeons, and two facial plastic/ reconstructive surgeons help augment the fellow’s experience. Advanced cases will be covered by the fellow preferentially, including: major head and neck ablative cases, microvascular reconstructions, TOLMS/TORS, endoscopic skullbase surgery, open/craniofacial skullbase resections, advanced trauma, and advanced Moh’s reconstructions. The fellowship also includes participation in approximately 130 thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, which includes minimally invasive techniques, reoperative surgery, and surgery for non-localizing disease. 

The fellow works at Loma Linda University Medical Center assisting faculty with cases. Fellows choose their cases with limited mentor over-site to ensure a balanced experience. Intraoperative resident teaching and research is expected. The fellow may also assist at the VA or county hospital as interesting cases dictate. No call or clinic responsibilities exist; this is a surgical fellowship, with a focus on operative experience. A California Medical License is required.

This is not a J1 Opportunity.
