Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The fellow will be appointed as a clinical instructor and blend learning with clinical responsibilities within all realms of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

One of the unique features of this program is the multidisciplinary nature in which the fellow can spend time with colleagues in plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology.

The weekly schedule will be tailored to the fellow’s needs, but would include a half day of fellow cosmetic clinic, one to two days per month of facial nerve clinic and one to two days per month of academic facial plastic surgery clinic. The remainder of the time will be spent between the Hershey Medical Center campus and Hershey Outpatient Surgery Center enriching their skills in the operating, both as a primary and first-assist surgeon. Autonomy will vary depending on the complexity of the case and overall training progression of the fellow.

In addition, the fellow will have opportunities to observe craniofacial cases, in addition to, oculoplastic cases depending on scheduling.

Interested applicants can find the full application details on the AAFPRS Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery webpage and submit the application with all required materials.

Applications should be submitted by Feb. 1 of the academic year two years prior to the fellowship; for instance, applications for fellowships starting July 2024 will apply in 2022-2023.

Humanitarian outreach trips not only provide critical care for patients who may travel for days to receive treatment, but are also a deeply fulfilling endeavor for our attending physicians and fellows. The Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has completed surgical mission trips to Peru, Ecuador, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.
