These fellowships are available to candidates who are eligible to take the examination of the American Board of Surgery, Otolaryngology, or Plastic Surgery. All fellowships are for one or two years. Having a carefully structured evaluation system, these programs are site visited, reviewed and approved by the Executive Council of the American Head & Neck Society. A diploma is awarded by the Society to those candidates who follow the rigid criteria and successfully complete the fellowship. The applications and appointments for fellowship are processed through a central matching program.
Doctors who have received a D.O. are not eligible to participate in the AHNS match. However, applicants with a D.O. can contact the fellowship programs after the match occurs to see if a position is available and if their qualifications are a fit for the program.
The match will be performed on June 15, 2012, so all interviews and associated materials must be finalized prior to that date. It is the responsibility of the candidates to set up interviews and send all materials to the American Head and Neck Society in a timely manner. Interviews can not be set-up without all required material being submitted to the American Head and Neck Society.
