Advanced Rhinology and Anterior Skull Base Surgery Fellowship
Job Description
The Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery division at our organization in Southern California is on the lookout for a fellow specializing in Facial Plastic Surgery and Advanced Rhinologic Surgery. This one-year fellowship offers a comprehensive, high-volume academic referral practice with a strong emphasis 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 is primarily centered on Nasal Surgery, featuring extensive experience in endoscopic sinus procedures, anterior skull base surgeries, and selected reconstructive rhinoplasty cases. Training will also encompass nasal and facial trauma, making it a vital part of this fellowship experience. While there is an opportunity for broad training in both Facial Plastic and Advanced Rhinology, the focus will be on reconstructive cases over cosmetic and clinic-based procedures.
The fellow will collaborate with faculty at our institution, assisting in various cases. Fellows have the autonomy to select their cases, ensuring a well-rounded, fellow-directed experience. Teaching residents during surgeries is an expected component of the role. Participation in a multidisciplinary Skull Base Tumor Board is mandatory, and fellows are encouraged to engage with standardized reading materials.
Compensation & Benefits
Our department offers a competitive salary aligned with PGY-6 levels, ranging from $90,000 to $104,000 for starting base compensation. This figure is subject to adjustment based on years of experience and/or faculty rank and does not include variable compensation or additional productivity incentives. Detailed discussions regarding compensation will take place during the recruitment process.

- Generous retirement contributions
