Head and Neck Cancer Fellowship
Fellowship Director
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.
