We just received approval for a 1 year urologic oncology fellowship beginning in summer of 2009. Our approval came late in the process for initiating the fellowship in summer 2008; however, we may start in summer 2008 if there is significant interest.

An emphasis of the fellowship will be minimally invasive approaches to urologic malignancies, as more than half of the clinical time will be spent performing robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies, lap partial and radical nephrectomies, and robotic cystectomies. We currently have 2 Da Vinci robots, and are performing 6-8 robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies a week.

Furthermore, there will be clinical research opportunities in outcomes and health services research with dedicated time. These include opportunities to work with BWH urologists, Anthony D'Amico, Phil Kantoff, and others.

If interested, please send a CV and coverletter to jhu2@partners.org.
