Description of Program:

Jefferson Fellowship in Endourology and Minimally Invasive Urologic Oncology

This Endourology Society Fellowship at Jefferson was established in 1996. Through 2022, 21 fellows have completed the training program. Fellows work with the physicians who specialize in advanced endourology and minimally invasive urologic oncology in the Department of Urology and the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center of Thomas Jefferson University.  Dr. Scott Hubosky is responsible for the endourologic aspects of the training. Laparoscopy and minimally invasive urologic oncology are managed by Dr. Costas Lallas with the other urologic oncologists who work in the Department of Urology and the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. The fellowship focuses on ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephroscopy, and laparoscopic/ robotic reconstructive and oncologic procedures, including nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, prostatectomy, cystectomy, and more advanced procedures.   The Fellow attends the Multidisciplinary GU Oncology Clinic at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.  They are expected to participate in weekly urology conferences and be involved in teaching residents and medical students.  There is a dedicated Endourology Suite at the University hospital with a wide range of endourologic equipment, and 5 daVinci Robots with dual consoles, including a single port (SP) system. The Fellow is expected to participate in research endeavors in the department, which includes writing abstracts and manuscripts, and presenting at major regional and national meetings. The fellow is appointed as an instructor at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College and has full attending privileges.  The fellowship is a one-year program certified by the Endourology Society

Northwell Health
The Endourology Fellowship program at the Smith Institute for Urology offers world class training with an unparalleled track record of producing leaders in the field.  The fellowship faculty is comprised of five renowned endourologists, providing a unique depth of experience and mentorship including Dr. Louis R. Kavoussi, Dr. Arthur Smith, Dr. Lee Richstone, Dr. Zeph Okeke, and Dr. David Hoenig.

The fellowship program offers three unique tracts/opportunities.  We offer (1) a comprehensive two-year postgraduate program consisting of the full range of endourology/stone work, laparoscopic and robotic surgery for benign and malignant disease, specifically designed to train urologists with plans to pursue academic careers; 2) a one year stone fellowship, and 3) a one year laparoscopy/robotic surgery fellowship.

The two-year program integrates clinical and research work in minimally invasive surgery for kidney stone disease, urologic oncology, laparoscopic reconstructive surgery, laparo-endoscopic single site surgery (LESS), laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, and the full breadth of robotic surgical training. The fellowship will encompass basic science, clinical research and patient care. The research projects will be supported by and integrated with non clinical research fellows to facilitate the exchange of ideas and maximize productivity. Basic science research labs are available for collaboration through the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research (http://www.feinsteininstitute.org). The fellow will be expected to design his/her own projects as well as join ongoing experiment and work in collaboration with the research fellows.  The goal of the training is to equip the fellow with the skills and knowledge in basic science and clinical urologic research methodologies to pursue independent investigations.

The one year fellowships offer extensive surgical/clinical training, opportunities to publish extensively, and lay the groundwork for independent practice and investigation.

In addition, the fellows are involved in resident and student teaching. Fellows have attending privileges as junior staff, as well as clinical instructor appointments.

The fellowships involve clinical work at two tertiary centers located close to one another, including the Long Island Jewish Medical Medical Center and the North Shore University Hospital. Other hospitals include: Lenox Hill, Huntington Hospital and Southside Hospital. Past fellows have enjoyed living in nearby suburban communities, as well as in Manhattan, Long Island City, and Brooklyn, New York, with acceptable commuting schedules.

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.
