A nationally and internationally recognized Otolaryngology program in the Chicago metropolitan area of Illinois is recruiting a fellowship-trained Rhinologist to join a high-volume, academically driven multidisciplinary team. The practice is anchored within a 509-bed comprehensive stroke center — the largest campus in its health system and one of the largest facilities in Chicago's northern suburbs — where rhinology operates alongside neurosurgery, oculoplastics, and head and neck oncology at a level rarely available outside major academic medical centers. The scope of surgical complexity, the depth of subspecialty collaboration, and the program's international reputation make this an exceptional platform for a rhinologist who wants to push the boundaries of endoscopic skull base and sinus surgery.
