| Fellowship Program Description: | The Toronto Western Hospital Skull Base Oncology fellowship provides significant operative exposure to a range of skull base cases and pathologies, including anterior, lateral, and posterior cases, with an equal emphasis on open and endoscopic procedures, as well as open vascular and plastic surgery/reconstructive cases. In addition, the fellowship offers the opportunity for GammaKnife training and involvement. Given the University of Toronto's international reputation for cutting edge clinical and translational research, this fellowship also encourages and facilitates significant research productivity, offering clinical fellows the opportunity to contribute significantly to the growing body of evidence on a variety of skull base and neuro-oncologic pathologies. |
