ENT and Endocrine Pathology Fellowship at Mount Sinai West

RESIDENCIES & FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Our ENT and Endocrine Pathology Fellowship trains one fellow over the course of a year, offering an unparalleled opportunity to interact with a large team of renowned head and neck surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists. Fellows engage in clinical care and research at The Multidisciplinary Head, Neck, and Thyroid Center, a Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai. Head and neck cancer patients are primarily treated at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai West, and Mount Sinai Morningside, which are seamlessly connected through a centralized digitalized histology hub and inclusive online tumor boards. 

As a trainee, you will be exposed to a wealth of clinical material across multiple sites, in patient and consultation cases, and head and neck and thyroid tumor boards. At the Mount Sinai West Frozen Section Laboratory, you will have the opportunity to learn our unique intraoperative resection margin mapping workflow using 3-D specimen scanning. A virtual specimen model is generated and used in video communication of resection margin status. We were the first to develop this novel and intuitive model which bridges communication gaps between surgeons and pathologists.
