This is an unofficial listing of Advanced Otology Fellowships available in North America. Fellowships in the US and Canada are listed for the convenience of applicants. This may not be a comprehensive list as each year fellowship mentors retire, and others start new programs.
Advanced Otology Fellowships are available in the US to offer surgical, diagnostic and management skills in general otology, implantable hearing devices and vestibular disease. The exposure to neurotologic procedures is variable. Graduates are not eligible to sit for the Neurotology Subspecialty exam in the US. One-year Otology Fellowships exist to allow public access to expert otologic practitioners that cannot be met by graduates of accredited 2-year programs alone.
Application requirements for each program may differ. There is no centralized match for these positions. Each program must be contacted individually to apply, verify program availability for each program year, and to confirm availability to international applicants. Information and links to program information is included. Programs with no information provided are listed and may be contacted by searching for instructors individually.
