Program Structure
The Emory SUO Fellowship is a 2-year fellowship in accordance with SUO policies.
One year of fellowship is dedicated to an in-depth clinical experience, providing extensive operative training in open, laparoscopic, robotic, and endoscopic management of urologic malignancies. Fellows will rotate with GU medical oncology and GU radiation oncology to gain experience in non-surgical oncologic interventions. Fellows also participate in multidisciplinary conferences and tumor boards on a regular basis.
One year of fellowship is devoted to research. Emory offers in-depth resources for NIH-funded basic/translational science, health services research, and clinical research including a robust clinical trials infrastructure. Further degree programs through the School of Medicine and School of Public Health/CDC are also available in parallel to research endeavors. Fellows are expected to generate original research for presentations and publications. Resources to assist academic productivity include institutional databases, national claims/cancer registries, robust biospecimen tissue repositories and tumor registries, and numerous institutional core facilities.
Multidisciplinary didactic teaching conferences expose the fellow to scientific and oncologic principles important for career development including biostatistics, epidemiology, tumor biology, research methodology and clinical trial design and implementation.
