Congenital Cardiac Surgery

Under the leadership of Reshma Biniwale, MD, UCLA offers a 1-year ACGME Accredited Congenital Cardiac Surgery Fellowship. As one of only twelve elite training programs for congenital heart disease, UCLA’s heart surgery program is a major referral center for children with congenital or acquired heart disease. Over 400 congenital heart surgeries are performed each year by our pediatric heart surgeons. UCLA also has one of the largest pediatric heart transplant programs, including complex congenital transplant recipients and adolescent redo heart transplant. During this fellowship, surgeons can be exposed to patients from newborns to older adults with congenital heart disease. As a fellow, you will take part in Morbidity and Mortality conferences once a week, attend journal clubs, and take part in the congenital teaching conference that has been provided by the Thoracic Surgical Directors Association, TSDA. Following successful completion of this program, fellows will be board-eligible for Congenital Cardiac Surgery through the ABTS. For more information, please contact Desiree Valeriano.  Learn more>


Craniofacial Surgery

The UCLA Craniofacial Surgery Fellowship is a one-year, non-ACGME accredited fellowship offered to applicants who have completed their residency in plastic surgery. While Fellows spend the majority of their time operating out of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, they will also participate in cases at the Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, Harbor-UCLA, Kaiser-Sunset Orthopedic Hospital and White Memorial Hospital. The Fellow plays an important role in the education of the plastic surgery residents.  Fellows participate in hospital and clinical rounds with the plastic surgery residents.  They provide didactic instruction on craniomaxillofacial facial topics, and act as consultants to the plastic surgery resident covering facial trauma call.  In addition, the Fellow is expected to participate in, present and publish clinical research.
