Welcome
The Neurotology Fellowship at University of Iowa Health Care is a two-year ACGME-accredited program.
Fellows master surgical approach during the first year of the fellowship and progress to actual tumor removal and cranial nerve conservation surgery during the second year.
The program’s interdisciplinary approach to patient care offers a variety of experiences that range from neurotology cases in the operating room to practical experience with patients undergoing vestibular testing to empirical audiological training.
Fellows are also afforded an extensive variety of research opportunities, including the chance to pursue a two-year research project in any area of the fellow’s choosing.
About the Program
The otology/neurotology fellowship program is accredited by the Advanced Training Council of the American Head and Neck Society and accepts one applicant every two years.
Otology fellows spend a minimum of 20 months in clinical service. They attend all otology/neurotology clinics and neurotology cases in the operating room and are responsible for inpatient service. They also have one day of dedicated research time each week. It offers a two-year fellowship in otology/neurology accredited by the Advanced Training Council of the American Head and Neck Society.
