Cleveland Clinic Foundation Program
About This Program
At the Cleveland Clinic, we take pride in the highly collaborative learning environment we have created with our subspecialty colleagues. We hold a multidisciplinary NMSC (non-melanoma skin cancer) tumor board twice a month, discussing numerous complex cases with strong participation from our colleagues. We have 7 cadaver lab sessions as part of our fellows' curriculum. Our fellows rotate among six surgeons and four locations: the Main Campus and three regional locations.
