The Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgery program is a non-ACGME head and neck fellowship. The Department of Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgery is located in a health sciences center at LSU Health Shreveport. The program is two years in duration. For candidates to be accepted into our training program, they must have successfully completed an Otolaryngology program. The program fosters a humanistic approach to medicine and expects its graduates to be of the highest ethical standards. In addition, the program prepares graduates for a career in academic medicine if they should so desire.
The program has a minimum of twelve months of clinical training. A maximum of twelve months of research may also be taken during the training, at the discretion of the program director. Training includes management of all head and neck disorders and neoplasms. Fellows are exposed to a broad range of diseases of benign and malignant head and neck tumors. The scope of training encompasses ablation as well as reconstructive surgery including microvascular flaps and pedicled flaps. Fellows will complete at least 40 microvascular reconstructions independently at the end of 12 months. The fellow will also take part in a formal training program through the Microvascular Training Laboratory. Fellows will get trained in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with at least 30 independent cases at the end of 12 months. Rotations include radiation oncology, medical oncology, radiology, especially thyroid ultrasounds for comprehensive management of the disease.
