Job Description

MUSC Minimum Training and Requirements: MD or equivalent

Clinical Component
The surgical caseload is 400+ cases per year, including treatment for inflammatory sinus disease (60%, with 90% revision or frontal disease), sinonasal and skull base tumors (25 to 30%), and non-inflammatory diseases (10 to15%), such as CSF leaks/encephaloceles and orbital surgery.

Depending upon the interests of the fellow, additional surgical experience is available in open skull base approaches, rhinoplasties, and oculoplastic procedures with fellowship-trained subspecialists in each field. Each week, fellows spend approximately three to four days in the OR, one day in the clinic, and one day of research/educational time. Fellows are afforded graduated autonomy and routinely staff their cases as attendings. Fellows additionally learn to perform a variety of in-office procedures while in clinic.


Research Component
One day per week is reserved for research, tailored to each fellow's background and interests. Fellows can leverage a robust divisional infrastructure, including statistical support, dedicated academic fellows, and projects arising from NIH R01-funded and drug/device industry-supported work. Fellows participate in regular divisional research meetings and are expected to write two manuscripts and give national/regional presentations on their research during the year. Fellows also supervise medical students and residents in the design and execution of research projects and preparation of manuscripts and presentations.


Educational Component
Fellows educate medical students and residents daily in the clinic, wards, and operating room. The fellow leads three to four didactic conferences for our residents and is invited to give one to two lectures to clinical groups at MUSC. In addition, the fellow will serve as a faculty member for the Annual Southern States Rhinology Course, a conference that draws physicians from across the country.


Professional Component
Fellows receive hands-on professional mentorship to chart a well-rounded academic career path. Our fellows are highly sought after for faculty positions.
