Oral/Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery Fellowship

The applicant must possess an MD and/or DDS/DMD degree and have completed a four- or six-year residency program in oral and maxillofacial surgery. During the program, the fellow gains significant experience in the preoperative workup and operative ablation of patients with oral/head and neck neoplasms, including squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, sarcomas of the jaws, odontogenic tumors, facial skin cancer and salivary gland tumors. Immediate and delayed reconstructive surgery techniques also are reviewed during the fellowship experience.

The fellow is expected to become involved in a research project during the year. Other activities include participation in head and neck tumor board meetings and review of histology pertaining to extirpated tumors. At the conclusion of the one-year experience, the fellow will be properly equipped to accept a teaching/clinical position in an academic medical center or private practice depending on his or her career interests.
