NEW YORK PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL - WEILL CORNELL & COLUMBIA
INSTITUTION & ADDRESSWeill Cornell Medicine Columbia University Medical College SF MATCH PROGRAM ID#5118 FELLOWSHIP DIRECTORAbtin Tabaee, MD ASSISTANT FELLOWSHIP DIRECTORDavid Gudis, MD OTHER FELLOWSHIP - TRAINED RHINOLOGY FACULTYAshutosh Kacker, MD DEPARTMENTAL MISSION STATEMENTThe New York-Presbyterian Hospital is a world leading medical center with two main academic medical center campuses: one affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College and the other with Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at both campuses provide advanced clinical care, education and research. Each site has expert faculty representing the various sub-specialty disciplines of otolaryngology and serving a large local, regional and international catchment area. The full breadth of tertiary otolaryngology care is provided encompassing the latest advances in medical and surgical care. Education is integral to the mission of the Departments at the medical student, resident and fellow levels. The combined bi-campus residency program trains four house officers per year with dedicated rotations at Weill Cornell, Columbia, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Medical students from both medical schools as well as outside institutions actively participate in educational rotations. The research activities of the faculty produce numerous manuscripts yearly, drawing from scholarly activities that integrate the robust clinical, basic science, and translational collaborations available across the institutions. Many of the faculty serve as national leaders in otolaryngology – society presidents, Board members, journal editors, visiting professors, and other academic leadership activities. OVERVIEW OF FELLOWSHIPThe one-year Rhinology fellowship at the New York Presbyterian Hospital – Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Medical College combines the clinical, surgical and research expertise of the outstanding rhinology faculty at both campuses to provide a comprehensive surgical and educational experience for the rhinology fellow. In addition to the five fellowship trained rhinologists, several other key faculty contribute to the fellowship experience including surgical care and overall education. The core goals of the fellowship program include:
FELLOWSHIP DESCRIPTIONClinical Rotations & Weekly Schedule:The fellow will be directly immersed in the operating rooms and outpatient office practices of the program faculty throughout the year. The weekly schedule will be coordinated by the fellowship director to facilitate participation in advanced surgical procedures with the entire rhinology faculty while balancing dedicated academic time and office hours. A typical week consists of 3 days of rhinologic and endoscopic skull base surgery performed at both campuses, 1 day in the outpatient clinic/office setting and 1 day of academic time. The outpatient office experience includes participation in the faculty practice of the rhinology and allergy faculty and supervision of the resident clinic. Research Responsibilities:The fellow actively participates in research activities mentored by the program faculty. The majority of the experience targets clinical research, but collaborative opportunities exist for basic science and translational research throughout both campuses. Diversity of Cases:A comprehensive and high volume surgical experience with expert faculty preceptors is the foundation of the fellowship. The surgical experience emphasizes advanced procedures in rhinology and endoscopic skull base surgery. Active multi-disciplinary collaboration with expert faculty at both campuses is integral to the endoscopic skull base and orbital experience.
Call Schedule:Hospital call is managed by the otolaryngology residents and departmental faculty members. The fellow will not provide primary call for the hospital or faculty practices. However, the fellow is expected to assist with the care of emergency rhinology cases supervised by the fellowship faculty. Additional Information:
