He is a graduate of University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York and the Harvard School of Public Health, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dr. Selber trained in Surgery and Plastic Surgery at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and completed a clinical fellowship in Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX.

A microvascular reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Selber's research involves head and neck reconstruction, breast reconstruction, microsurgery, abdominal wall reconstruction, microsurgical training, robotic-assisted reconstructive surgery, and other areas. He also has an active robotic reconstructive surgery practice in which he developed and utilizes four unique procedures. His research and clinical work has led to invitations to instruct, lecture, and perform surgery all over the world.

In addition, Dr. Selber has had over 60 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and serves as a reviewer or editor for multiple journals. He holds offices in several national plastic surgery societies including the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and is an executive board and founding member of the Robotic Assisted Microsurgical and Endoscopic Society (RAMSES).
