Objectives of the Program

Provide advanced endocrine surgical training and research opportunities in the field of Endocrine Surgery. This will be conducted in an academic department emphasizing preoperative evaluation, operative skills and long-term management. The fellowship is designed for individuals who have completed their general surgery training and seek to develop a career in endocrine surgery.

Highlights of the Fellowship

Intensive endocrine surgery training with 4 experienced endocrine surgeons (Sanziana Roman, MD, Julie Ann Sosa, MD, Tobias Carling, MD, PhD, and Robert Udelsman, MD) emphasizing the multidisciplinary care of the patient. Our wealth of endocrine surgical cases (over 475 thyroid, 380 parathyroid, 40 modified radical cervical lymphadenectomies, 30 adrenal and 5 endocrine pancreatic procedures per year) will afford the fellow extensive operative experience combined with advanced techniques including minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, laparoscopic adrenalectomy and neck dissections. The fellow will participate in clinical and translational research and, under appropriate mentorship, make substantive contributions to the scientific literature. The fellow will actively participate in weekly endocrine multispecialty conferences and interact extensively with endocrinology, cytology, sonography and nuclear medicine.
