Objectives of the Program:
|
We aim to train the next generation of leaders in endocrine surgery.
|
|
Highlights of the Fellowship:
|
Our fellowship is part of a high volume endocrine surgery program with several distinct features. The fellow has exposure to four sites: a high volume quaternary care center, a public hospital with a fellow run clinic and OR, a private practice setting, and a VA hospital. The fellow will also get exposure to one of the highest volume Transoral endocrine surgery programs in the country. In addition we have a high volume of thyroid radiofrequency ablations. There is also ongoing NIH funded research that the fellow is welcome to participate in as well.
Average Thyroid Case Volume: 100
Average Parathyroid Case Volume: 100
Average Adrenal Case Volume: 20
|
|
Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET)
|
Number of evaluation & Management of NET (enteric and pancreatic only) cases per year: 10
Number of operative NET (enteric and pancreatic only) cases per year: 10
Number of NET case discussions per year: 5
The fellow has an opportunity to participate in a Multidisciplinary NET (enteric and pancreatic only) Tumor Board which meets monthly.
If the fellow desires, there is an internal opportunity to engage in a more robust NET experience with a rotation with the hepatobiliary service, which is optional but would provide a much larger PNET experience.

International Medical Graduates
|
Our program is not able to accept international applicants at this time. |
|
Special Considerations:
|
One fellowship position is offered each year, with the potential for extension to a second year to focus on further research and academic development. Candidates should be board eligible in general surgery and should apply through the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons fellowship match.
