Pediatric Urology Fellowship

The first year of the Pediatric Urology Fellowship is focused on clinical training. An interdisciplinary approach is employed, particularly in the care of patients with cancer and neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

During the clinical year, the fellow will gain extensive surgical experience in open, laparoscopic, and robotic pediatric urology cases. Competency is developed in all major areas of pediatric urology practice including:

• Endourology

• Fluid and electrolyte management

• Genitourinary reconstructive surgery

• Intersex

• Neurogenic bladder dysfunction

• Obstructive uropathy

• Oncology

• Perinatal urology

• Trauma

• Urinary tract infection

• Urolithiasis

• Voiding dysfunction

The second fellowship year is 20% clinical, with the remaining majority of time devoted to research. Our pediatric urology team's research interests include esicoureteral reflux, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, urolithiasis, hypospadias, and urinary tract reconstruction.
