Job Information

Introduction to Montefiore:

Montefiore Medical Center is a premier academic medical center and the primary teaching hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York City. Montefiore is nationally recognized for clinical excellence—breaking new ground in research, training the next generation of healthcare leaders, and delivering science-driven, patient-centered care. Montefiore provides the doctors of tomorrow a unique opportunity for education and training in one of the most diverse urban areas in the country — one where the population is global, the disease burden is high, and the need for quality care is great.

Montefiore Health System consists of fifteen hospitals with 2059 total beds, plus a primary and specialty care network of more than 180 locations across New York City, Westchester County, the lower Hudson Valley. The primary sites are the Moses Division (“Montefiore Hospital”), Jack. D. Weiler Hospital (“Einstein Hospital”), and the Hutchinson Metro Center ambulatory pavilion.

Our institution has a deep commitment to medical education, with over 1,250 residents and fellows across 89 programs at Montefiore and an additional 1000 MD, PhD and masters students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Through joint efforts, Montefiore-Einstein is able to advance research and accelerate discoveries, benefiting patients and ensuring access to state-of-the-art healthcare for all. 

Department of Urology:

The Department of Urology at Montefiore has 16 full time urologists and 2 PhD faculty, representing all subspecialties within the field. The urology department faculty are enthusiastic about teaching, and continue to develop interactive and engaging ways to teach with our trainees. Our 5-year ACGME accredited residency program grew from 2 residents/year to 3 residents/year in 2022. We perform a high annual surgical volume of endourological (500+ ureteroscopy, 110+ percutaneous nephrolithotomy) and robotic/laparoscopic (200+) operations.

The urology department faculty are enthusiastic about teaching, and continue to develop more interactive and engaging ways to teach our residents. Within the program, residents play a key role in caring for our patients and are important members of every care team. In this supportive environment, our residents become a close-knit group, training side-by-side in our facilities and exploring New York City in their free time.

Endourology & Minimally Invasive Urological Surgery Fellowship:

The Montefiore Combined Endourology & Minimally Invasive Urological Surgery fellowship is a 1-year Endourology Society-accredited Certificate Program. We are excited to re-launch the fellowship for 2023. Our fellow will be fully integrated into the clinical, academic and educational activities of the urology department.

The training program is focused on advanced laparoscopy/robotic surgery as well as complex stone treatment. Our busy urban practice has a high volume that will expose the fellow to a wide breadth of surgical procedures. The program focus can be tailored to an individual fellows’ interests and career goals. At Montefiore Moses and Weiler locations, there are four daVinci Xi surgical systems with dual consoles. We routinely perform robotic partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, ureteral reconstructions, cystectomy, prostatectomy, and other complex procedures. PCNL and ureteroscopy procedures happen on a daily basis.

The fellow will function as a junior faculty member and will be appointed as a clinical instructor. They will supervise residents in the clinic and OR and book their own cases. They will share attending call with the other faculty (approximately 4 calls/month).

Annual salary is based on the PGY-6 Montefiore residency pay scale ($83,000 in 2022) with full fringe benefits.
