“With head and neck oncology, you’re removing an invasive malignancy, and then moving tissue from elsewhere in the body and reconstructing the mouth and face. This takes considerable precision and is truly life-altering for patients. It was an amazing experience,” recalls Hamilton. “Being able to help people in that way is truly gratifying.”
