The Head and Neck Oncological and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine offers intensive, high-volume training in the comprehensive care of patients with head and neck cancers. Fellows participate in the full spectrum of oncologic surgery, including transoral robotic surgery, skull base procedures, and advanced microvascular free-flap reconstruction.
