The Craniofacial Surgery Fellowship at the University of 麻豆传媒高清/Children’s Hospital 麻豆传媒高清 is a one-year, intensive training program designed to provide comprehensive experience in the evaluation, planning, and surgical management of congenital, developmental, and acquired craniofacial anomalies. The fellowship emphasizes both surgical excellence and collaborative, patient-centered care. The fellow will be appointed as an instructor fellow.
Fellows will gain expertise in the treatment of a wide spectrum of craniofacial conditions, including but not limited to cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, orthognathic surgery, facial trauma, hemifacial microsomia, craniofacial tumors and reconstruction and cosmetic and functional facial surgery. Fellows will also be encouraged to engage in clinical research during the year which would result in an accepted presentation/publication.
The fellow will see patients in clinic pre-operatively and post-operatively to become comfortable with developing a surgical plan and understand pre-operative imaging needs and optimization of patients as well as post-operative care and care needs. They will follow those patients to surgical treatment in the OR and then be responsible for rounding on them post-operatively in hospital with the resident complement on service.
The fellows are involved in the educational program and work closely with residents and students. The fellow will have educational responsibilities towards the junior and senior residents on service and will act as the “responsible attending” . Our expectation is that the fellow will teach them in all settings, whether that be in the clinic, on the floor during rounds, or in the operating room. The fellow will also be expected to present plastic surgery grand rounds on a craniofacial topic of their choosing.
Completion of an ACGME-accredited Residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Candidates must have completed and passed USMLE 3 or COMLEX 3.

The fellowship includes a broad range of clinical experiences including: reconstruction of acquired mastectomy defects following breast cancer surgery (DIEP, SIEA, TRAM, PAP, VUG/TUG/DUG), lymphovenous bypass and lymph node transplants, sarcoma and lower / upper extremity reconstruction, head and neck reconstruction including facial paralysis, chest wall reconstruction, and gender affirmation surgery. There are also opportunities to gain experience in alloplastic and complex non-microsurgical breast reconstruction and pedicled flaps should the fellow desire.
