Title: Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Endourological Fellowship

Categories: Fellowships

Location: Chicago, IL

Job Information:

The McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Endourology Fellowship is a one-year program with clinical, operative and research components.

The clinical element will train fellows in laparoscopic and robotic surgery as well as ablative techniques for the management of kidney and prostate cancers.  This will include robust training in robotic prostatectomy, laparoscopic and robotic assisted partial nephrectomy and ablative techniques for prostate cancer.  There will be additional exposure to minimally invasive reconstructive procedures (i.e. pyeloplasty and ureteral reimplantation) as well as treatment of benign disease. Clinic based experience will include patient diagnosis and management as well as office-based procedures (i.e. MRI guided transperineal fusion biopsies, prostate fiducial and spacer insertion).

The fellow is expected to be an active participant in clinical research. The Department of Urology maintains strong databases and is constantly leading clinical trials allowing for production of abstracts and manuscripts for international research meetings and high-impact journals. In collaboration with program directors and residents, the fellow is expected to produce approximately five clinical manuscripts per year.

The fellow works primarily with Dr. Kent Perry, Associate Professor of Urology and Program Director of the fellowship and co-director Dr. Ashley Ross, Associate Professor of Urology and Clinical director of the Polsky Urologic Institute.

Previous fellows have gone on to successful careers in both academic and specialized private practice settings.
