Research and presentation at international meetings is an important part of the Fellowship. The Fellowship is designed for someone wanting to develop a career in academic medicine and continuing research interests. Tertiary hospital placement would be expected after the fellowship and we would provide as much assistance as possible to see the fellow positioned appropriately.
Involvement in local and international meetings will help to build a strong relationship with the international rhinologic community.
