Advanced Training in Oncologic and Reconstructive Head and Neck Surgery

The Fellowship in Head and Neck Oncology is a oneyear advanced surgical training program offered at Kasturba Medical College (KMC), MAHE, designed to support your development into an independent specialist in head and neck oncologic and reconstructive surgery.

As a fellow, you play an integral role across both oncologic and reconstructive surgery services, gaining comprehensive exposure to head and neck cancer management, reconstruction, and endocrine surgery involving the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Training is delivered through structured clinical responsibility, operative experience, multidisciplinary decisionmaking, and academic engagement.

Program Highlights

Advanced Oncologic Surgical Training: You take a lead role in managing head and neck oncology patients across evaluation, surgical planning, operative care, and posttreatment followup.

Reconstructive Surgery Exposure: Our program includes extensive handson experience in reconstructive surgery, with over 50 reconstructive procedures performed annually, alongside an equivalent number of regional flap procedures.

Leadership and Team-Based Care: Working with a team of 12 residents, you develop leadership capability while coordinating patient care across oncologic, reconstructive, and endocrine surgery units.

Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Participation: You play a key role in weekly head and neck multidisciplinary tumor board meetings, contributing to case discussions and consensusbased treatment planning for all newly diagnosed patients.

Diverse Endocrine Surgery Experience: Structured exposure to thyroid and parathyroid surgical cases supports broadbased surgical competence within head and neck oncology practice.
