The Fellowship is intended to train an individual as a future Academic OMS. Academic Surgeons have four main areas in which they must develop expertise i.e., clinical, research, teaching and administrative. All academic surgeons will decide how much of their time to allocate to each of these pursuits depending on their interests, training and needs of their particular program. The Maryland Maxillofacial Oncology Fellowship professional activity plan has incorporated all four of these facets into its program.
