The fellow will be involved in all aspects of patient care: medical decision-making, treatment planning, intraoperative, and perioperative management of
patients undergoing maxillofacial/head and neck surgery, including microvascular
and microneurosurgery. The primary clinical focus of the program is in the ablation
and reconstruction of malignant tumors head and neck, with special attention to the
oral cavity, salivary glands, and maxillofacial complex. The program offers a rich
experience in reconstruction of the scalp and calvarium, skull base, midface and
orbits, temporal bone defects, oromandibular complex, oral cavity and oropharynx,
and hypopharynx/cervical esophagus. Current fellows also gain experience in
adjunctive procedures including facial reanimation, secondary/esthetic flap

skeleton. The fellow works primarily out of University Hospital, UAB Highlands
Hospital, and The Kirklin Clinic, however will be expected to provide occasional
OMFS call responsibilities across the UAB system.
