Official profile
Biography and background
Ilya Likhterov is a UCSF otolaryngology–head-and-neck surgery physician whose UCSF Health profile identifies a focus on head-and-neck cancer. The AHNS programme listing includes Likhterov among clinical faculty, while naming Patrick Ha as fellowship director and Ivan El-Sayed and P. Daniel Knott as co-directors. Likhterov is therefore recorded as faculty rather than promoted to fellowship director.

Head and Neck Cancer Fellowship
Listed clinical faculty
The checked AHNS programme page names Patrick Ha as director, Ivan El-Sayed and P. Daniel Knott as co-directors, and Ilya Likhterov as faculty. The earlier director string incorrectly elevated Likhterov; it is corrected to the published roles. The individual UCSF profile corroborates Likhterov’s identity and specialty.
