The Research and Education Foundation of the American Head and Neck Society has announced that this year's recipient of the Chris O'Brien Traveling Fellowship is our very own, Dr. Kevin Emerick. The purpose of this fellowship is to encourage international exchange of information concerning surgical science, practice, and education and to establish professional and academic collaborations and friendships.
Dr. Emerick strongly believes in the need for collaboration among colleagues to advance patient care. His aim for this fellowship is to observe the work of fellow head and neck surgeons in Australia and New Zealand and, more importantly, to forge the relationships needed to make real change for patients dying from skin cancer.
Dr. Kevin Emerick is an accomplished head and neck surgeon in the Head and Neck Oncology Division at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. He is also an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School and the Associate Program Director of the Harvard Otolaryngology Residency Program.
