Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship

Objectives

The fellowship in pediatric otolaryngology provides advanced training in the diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment of congenital and acquired anomalies affecting children, including—but not limited to—complex airway and aerodigestive problems, chronic ear disease, hearing loss, head and neck masses, sleep disorders, and sinus disease. In addition, fellows are given the opportunity to perform clinical and/or basic science research in the field of pediatric otolaryngology.

Salary and Benefits

Salary and benefits are commensurate with PGY 6 level of training according to the Mass General Brigham resident and fellow pay scale. This includes a generous base salary of $99,000 per year for AY 2024-2025 plus a $10,000 stipend to be used for housing costs and travel to meetings or conferences at which the fellow is presenting his or her research.

Deadline: January 15

Applicants should register and apply for fellowship positions through the SF Match program

Applications are due on January 15. Interviews are held in March or April each year.

The fellow’s performance as a resident, letters of recommendation, the quality of the applicant’s interview, academic achievement, and additional evidence of an interest in an academic pediatric otolaryngology career that would be enriched by a fellowship at Mass. Eye and Ear are all considered.

Candidates must be graduates of an ACGME-accredited otolaryngology–head and neck surgery residency training program.

While the fellowship is primarily clinical, all of our fellows have the opportunity to conduct research and present and publish their work at meetings and in journals and textbooks. There is the expectation that each fellow will publish at least two papers in the peer-reviewed literature during their fellowship, and most exceed this significantly.
