Job description

The Department of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery at Loma Linda University in Southern California is seeking a fellow in Facial Plastic Surgery & Advanced Rhinologic Surgery. This is a one-year fellowship with a broad, high-volume academic referral practice focusing on Nasal Surgery; mission electives are strongly encouraged.

Our department features 4 full-time, fellowship‑trained Rhinologic and Skull Base surgeons in addition to 3 facial plastic surgeons. The fellowship experience centers on nasal surgery with high-volume endoscopic sinus surgery, anterior skull base procedures, and selected reconstructive rhinoplasty cases. Nasal trauma and facial trauma will also be an integral component. Broad training in both Facial Plastic and Advanced Rhinology is available, although reconstructive cases are prioritized over cosmetic and clinic‑based procedures.

The fellow works at Loma Linda University assisting faculty with cases. Fellows choose their cases to ensure a balanced, fellow‑directed experience. Intraoperative resident teaching is expected. Participation in a multidisciplinary Skull Base Tumor Board is required, and reading opportunities from standardized curricula are encouraged.

Pay and full benefits are offered through the department at a salary level concordant with PGY‑6 salaries at our institution. Additional compensation from elective call opportunities or satellite clinics may be earned if desired.

The compensation range listed is for starting base compensation only and is adjusted based on years of experience and/or faculty rank: $90,000 – $104,000. This amount does not include variable compensation or extra productivity and is subject to the individual department compensation plans. More information on compensation is discussed with the department during the recruitment process.
