Description
Mayo Clinic’s Neurotology Fellowship in Rochester, Minnesota, provides training in diagnostic, medical, surgical, and rehabilitative care for disorders of the auditory and vestibular system, facial nerve, and cranial base. The two-year program combines clinical practice with teaching and basic science and clinical research, preparing fellows to contribute as surgeons, educators, and researchers.
Training takes place in a high-volume quaternary care facility, with an emphasis on complex neurotologic and lateral skull base disorders. Clinical experience includes microsurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery for skull base tumors, multidisciplinary care of neurofibromatosis type 2, cochlear and auditory brainstem implantation, and complex facial nerve disorders. Fellows also receive training in chronic ear, stapes, and vestibular surgery, with graduated autonomy and close faculty mentorship.
