Description
Mayo Clinic’s Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery in Phoenix, Arizona, offers this two-year fellowship for international candidates. Under the mentorship of Drs. Devyani Lal, Michael Marino, and Amar Miglani, fellows train in comprehensive treatment of inflammatory sinonasal conditions, anterior skull base disease, orbital pathology, functional nasal problems, epistaxis, and allergy. The program aims to prepare graduates for academic careers internationally.
Training combines patient care and advanced surgery with clinical research. Surgical experience includes revision and extended endoscopic sinus procedures, orbital and lacrimal surgery, sellar and parasellar approaches, skull base resection, and open approaches to sinonasal tumors. Fellows participate in departmental and multidisciplinary conferences, seminars, and journal clubs, with periodic program-director meetings supporting career development.
