Curriculum

Working closely with Dr. Yoon and other oculoplastic faculty, fellows gain experience in a wide variety of surgical procedures. Fellows will also interact with physicians in a variety of other specialties, including otolaryngology, oral maxillofacial surgery, dermatology, Mohs surgery, neuroradiology, plastic surgery, and ophthalmic pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital and other affiliated facilities

There are two alternating rotations, shared with the other ASOPRS fellow, and lasting six months at a time. During each rotation, the fellow will spend about two days in clinic, two and a half days in the OR, and a half day of office procedures or elective time. The rotations allow for the fellow to work with all of the faculty preceptors.
