Fellowship Program Description: | The Cleveland Clinic Section of Skull Base Surgery is an interdisciplinary team led by neurosurgery and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and includes specialists from neuro-ophthalmology, endocrinology, neuro-oncology, and radiation oncology. It is one of the few centers in the United States that offers a comprehensive 360 degree set of approaches, including all approaches, such as: transcranial, transfacial, transorbital, and key hole approaches to skull base tumors. Clinically, the team see patients both nationally and internationally to approach some of the most complex problems in skull base surgery. Academically, the team is one of the premiere teams as demonstrated by their regular calls to present their work nationally and internationally. In addition to the skull base training, we have a transition to practice model, where the fellow has progressively increased clinical responsibilities, including having independence with close collaboration for non-skull base general neurosurgery cases, to supplement the complex skull base learning. During the fellowship year, the fellow also actively participates in on-going research projects in conjunction with the skull base research team. The goal at the end of the fellowship is to have trained excellent surgeons who will be leaders in the subspecialty of skull base surgery, who will have a lifelong network of support to help treat patients with the most complex skull base pathologies. |
