title = "Fellowship Training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery",
abstract = "Fellowship training in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery is a relatively new phenomenon that reflects the increasing complexity of clinical medicine. Despite an expansion of fellowship opportunities over the last three decades, there is still incomplete regulation and standardization of fellowship training. Approximately one third of residency graduates obtain some form of fellowship training. This article describes the fellowship opportunities that are currently available within the field of otolaryngology. Fellowship training serves as an avenue to gain further credentials and certification, although only the fields of neurotology, pediatric otolaryngology, and sleep medicine are accredited by the ACGME.",

note = "Funding Information: Currently, the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Web site has links to information for fellowships in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck oncologic surgery, laryngology and voice disorders, otology/neurotology/skull base surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, rhinology and sinus surgery, and sleep medicine. Fellowship training is commonplace within otolaryngology, and the purpose of this article is to summarize the current fellowship training opportunities available in otolaryngology and discuss current trends and attitudes toward subspecialization within otolaryngology–head and neck surgery. Funding Information: The fellowship match for pediatric otolaryngology was established in 1999 and is sponsored by the Fellowship Committee of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology. The American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology does not certify or monitor any of the pediatric otolaryngology fellowships, however, so that only ACGME-approved programs are subject to external monitoring and verification of educational standards. Because there is no centralized application service for the pediatric otolaryngology match, applicants should contact programs directly to learn their individual requirements.
