Objectives of the Program:

To provide advanced training and research opportunities within the field of Endocrine Surgery. Graduating fellows are expected to understand the multidisciplinary approach to endocrine tumors and disorders, including evaluation and management, operative approach, and follow-up.

Highlights of the Fellowship:

The Endocrine Surgery Fellowship at MCW provides a robust, high-volume clinical experience in the surgical management of thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pancreatic disease Fellows spend the majority of the fellowship year (ten months) immersed on the Endocrine Surgery service, performing more than 200 major endocrine operations.

The operative experience is broad and comprehensive, encompassing thyroidectomy with central and lateral neck dissection, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, re-operative neck surgery, and open and minimally invasive (robotic and laparoscopic) adrenalectomy using both retroperitoneal and transabdominal approaches. Fellows also develop expertise in office- and procedure-based techniques, including neck ultrasound, fine-needle aspiration biopsy, fiberoptic laryngoscopy, and thermal ablation.

To enhance interdisciplinary training, fellows complete dedicated rotations with the Head and Neck Surgery service in Otolaryngology and with the Division of Endocrinology in the Department of Medicine. Throughout the year, fellows participate in multidisciplinary conferences, contribute to the education of residents and medical students, and engage in weekly research meetings focused on clinical investigation, scientific communication, surgical education, and responsible research conduct.
