Highlights of the Fellowship:

The fellowship at New York-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine aims to provide a broad experience in advanced endocrine and minimally invasive surgery. Rotations will include time on endocrine surgery, surgical oncology, and minimally invasive/metabolic GI surgery. Our current case volumes include over 350 thyroidectomies, 200 parathyroidectomies, 40 adrenalectomies, 15 pancreatectomies and 100 metabolic procedures per year. Additionally, there is extensive involvement with remote access thyroidectomy, FNA biopsy, and direct laryngoscopy. The fellowship also incorporates rotation for two dedicated months at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on the head and neck surgery service. There are active laboratory and clinical projects in all facets of endocrine surgery. Exposure to endocrinology and nuclear medicine is integrated into the fellowship as well.
