NEUROTOLOGY BOOTCAMP 2026

The 2026 ANS Neurotology Fellows Bootcamp took place from March 19 – 21 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Established in 2018, this annual surgical training course has become a highly anticipated and valued experience for incoming fellows. This year, we were pleased to have the full participation from all 19 matched neurotology fellows across the U.S. Hosted by Stryker and supported by Cochlear, Med-El, Advanced Bionics, Grace Medical, and IotaMotion, the program included online didactics, interactive panels and case discussions, and hands-on cadaveric dissections. Each participant was provided with an injected cadaver head, with dissection focused on skull base approaches.
Continuing the tradition, this year’s Bootcamp theme celebrated the Winter Olympics – Neurotology Surgical Slopes: Chasing Gold and Precision at Peak Performance in Lateral Skull Base Surgery.
Special thanks to the 2026 Bootcamp Directors: Dr. Divya Chari (UMASS/Mass Eye and Ear) and Dr. Si Chen (University of Florida) and Guest Faculty: Dr. Nathan Cass (University of Kentucky), Dr. Tiffany Hwa (University of Pennsylvania), Dr. Vivian Kaul (University of Texas-Houston), Dr. Brendan O’Connell (Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat), Dr. Neil Patel (University of Utah), Dr. Scott Shapiro (Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson).

NEUROTOLOGY BOOTCAMP 2025

The 8th annual ANS Neurotology Fellows Bootcamp took place March 27-28 in Salt Lake City, Utah, continuing a valuable tradition established in 2018. This intensive course prepares incoming neurotology fellows for a successful start to their fellowship through hands-on training, concentrated instruction, and individualized mentorship from early-career ANS members. This year’s bootcamp included on-demand lectures, insightful panel discussions, challenging case studies, and extensive cadaver dissection—supported by excellent specimens and full selection of surgical tools. Twenty-one fellows from around the country spent a weekend enhancing their skills and building life-long connections.

We extend our gratitude to our generous sponsors: Stryker, Cochlear Americas, Med-EL, Advanced Bionics, Grace Medical, and IotaMotion. Special thanks are also due to Course Directors Dr. Si Chen (University of Florida) and Dr. Divya Chari (University of Massachusetts), as well as our guest faculty: Dr. Neil Patel (University of Utah), Dr. Mallory Raymond (Mayo Clinic Rochester), Dr. Karl Doerfer (Medical College of Wisconsin), Dr. Matthew Shew (Washington University), Dr. Nathan Cass (University of Kentucky), and Dr. Erika Walsh (University of Alabama)."

NEUROTOLOGY BOOTCAMP 2024

The 2024 ANS New Fellows Bootcamp was held April 19-21 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Anyone who matched into a neurotology fellowship in the US was eligible to attend, and 16 were able to make it.  The course was held at the Stryker facility in Salt Lake City, and was also supported by Cochlear Americas, MED-EL, Advanced Bionics, Grace Medical, and IotaMotion.  The course consisted of recorded lecture material which was reviewed ahead of time, interactive panels and case discussions, and cadaver dissections.  Each participant was allotted an injected cadaver head, and dissection focused on skull base approaches.  Feedback was positive, with course attendees really enjoying the educational content, but also the time to socialize with colleagues and friends.
Thank you to the 2024 Course Directors: Dr. Jeffrey Sharon (UCSF) and Dr. Cameron Wick (Washington University St. Louis). Guest Faculty: Dr. Divya Chari (University of Massachusetts), Dr. Si Chen (University of Florida) and Dr. Neil Patel (University of Utah), Dr. Mallory Raymond (Mayo Clinic Jacksonville), and Dr. Varun Varadarajan (Sacramento Ear, Nose & Throat).
