About Dustin Conrad

My name is Dustin Conrad and I work as an assistant professor in the Division of Head & Neck Oncology and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery. I am originally from Canada where I received my medical degree at Dalhousie University and my residency training in Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. I then completed a fellowship in head and neck oncologic surgery and microvascular reconstruction, certified by the American Head and Neck Society, at the University of Florida.

I am active in postgraduate education of Otolaryngology residents and the head and neck surgical oncology and microvascular fellow. I am an active member of the American Head and Neck Society, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the Canadian Association of Head and Neck Surgical Oncology.
