The Thompson Fellow must be well-trained in surgery, and eligible for American Board of Surgery certification. The goal of the fellowship is to facilitate the transition of the trainee to an independent endocrine surgeon who is confident in the management of the gamut of cervical and abdominal endocrine surgery clinical problems. Highlights of the Fellowship (including number of cases and a brief description of the overall program) The Division of Endocrine Surgery performs over 500 cervical endocrine operations, 25-50 endocrine pancreas operations and 50-75 adrenal operations each year. The Thompson Fellow participates in the care of these patients, and operates independently with senior faculty oversight in a defined plan of increasing independent responsibility through the academic year. The year also includes exposure to endocrinology outpatient clinical care, endocrine pathology, and extensive hands-on utilization of ultrasound both inside and outside of the operating room.
