The goal will be to have the non-ACGME accredited fellow participate as a fellow surgeon or fellow supervisor in a sufficient number of cases in each of the clinical domains. The non-ACGME fellow will rotate in first call pool with the residents, fellows, and Physician Assistants. The non-ACGME fellow will also work with the ACGME accredited fellows to directly lead the inpatient team.

The focus of this fellowship is research and academic scholarship. The clinical portion of the fellowship is offered as an opportunity to augment the research component of the training and to provide the fellow with the opportunity to maintain their already acquired surgical skills. This training is not an ACGME pediatric otolaryngology fellowship.
Supervision (research and clinical):

The non-ACGME fellow is a trainee and will always have supervision and will not have hospital privileges. Clinical supervision will be provided by the faculty of the division of pediatric otolaryngology- head and neck surgery. The supervision for the clinical aspect is outlined in the division of pediatric otolaryngology trainee supervision policy. The non-ACGME fellow will be responsible for and required to adhere to all Lurie and McGaw policies and procedures.

The non-ACGME fellow will have broad opportunities to select focused research projects and work with specific attendings and other researchers within Lurie and Feinberg School of Medicine. The fellow will directly report to the Director of Research who will monitor academic progress (as part of the SOC as outlined above) and serve as the primary mentor.
