Full Time Plastic Surgery Job ME

Our organization is actively looking for a fellow specializing in Advanced Head & Neck Oncologic Surgery and Microvascular Reconstruction within the Department of Otolaryngology. This fellowship spans one year and offers extensive hands-on experience, although candidates may opt for a two-year commitment based on their future goals and research interests. Participation in mission electives is highly encouraged.

Currently, our team includes eight full-time fellowship-trained Head & Neck surgical oncologists, five of whom are skilled in microvascular reconstruction. Additionally, two oncologic surgeons are based at our affiliated VA facility. The fellow will benefit from the expertise of two endoscopic skull base surgeons, three facial plastic/reconstructive surgeons, and three laryngologists, all of whom will enhance the fellow's training. The fellow will engage in advanced cases, including major head and neck ablative surgeries, microvascular reconstructions, TOLMS/TORS procedures, endoscopic skull base surgeries, open/craniofacial surgeries, advanced trauma cases, and complex skin cancer reconstructions. The fellow's preferences will help shape their specific case mix, ensuring a well-rounded experience that includes thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, minimally invasive techniques, re-operative surgeries, and procedures for non-localizing diseases.

The fellow will collaborate closely with faculty at our institution, selecting cases with minimal oversight to foster a fellow-directed and balanced learning experience. Teaching residents during surgeries and engaging in limited research activities are expected. If desired, the fellow may also assist at the VA or county hospital for specific cases.

This surgical fellowship does not involve any call or clinic duties, allowing for a concentrated focus on operative experience. A valid California Medical License is a prerequisite for this position.
