It provides comprehensive training in basic and advanced rhinology, endoscopic skull base surgery, and sinonasal oncology and opportunities to participate in clinical and NIH-funded translational research.

Our program is currently composed of two fellowship trained rhinologist/skull base surgeons, one physician scientist, as well as an otolaryngic allergist. The fellow will be exposed to a busy tertiary rhinology practice with local, regional, and national referrals, and will participate in 300-350 operative cases throughout the course of a year. These will include primary and revision sinus surgery, endoscopic skull base and orbital surgery, and office-based procedures.

Our program’s strengths lie in our clinical and research collaborations with the Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, the Duke Asthma, Allergy, and Airway Center, and the Duke Cystic Fibrosis and Lung Transplant Centers. In addition, the Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences has a world-class clinical research program, which will provide research opportunities and training for fellows who are interested.
