Rhinology/Endonasal Fellowship, Texas Sinus Institute

Our goal is to offer the highest quality 1-year rhinology training program. Through our fellowship training we will help establish leaders who will improve patient care standards, educate others, and perform research. The fellowship provides an intensive rhinologic experience in a tertiary-care academic environment. Particular emphasis is placed upon management of paranasal sinus inflammatory disorders, inhalant allergy, complex frontal sinus disease, revision sinus surgery, cerebrospinal fluid leaks and encephaloceles, and minimally invasive approaches to the paranasal sinuses and skull base for resection of benign and malignant sinonasal neoplasms.
