dedicated research and scholarly experience.

The fellow will function as an active operating surgeon-not an observer-progressing to graduated autonomy across the full breadth of open, endoscopic, minimally invasive, and robotic reconstructive urology under the direct mentorship of fellowship faculty.

The advanced trainee will develop comprehensive expertise across the core domains of adult genitourinary reconstruction, including:

• Urethral reconstruction, including anterior and posterior urethroplasty, complex and redo repairs, and management of urethral stricture disease
• Penile reconstruction and prosthetics, including penile implant surgery, Peyronie's disease correction, and penile and genital skin coverage
• Surgery for urinary incontinence, including artificial urinary sphincter placement, male slings, and revision procedures
• Genitourinary fistula repair, including vesicovaginal, rectourethral, and complex acquired fistulae
• Reconstruction of the upper and lower urinary tract, including ureteral reconstruction, bladder augmentation, urinary diversion, and neurogenic bladder management
• Genitourinary trauma and its acute and delayed reconstructive management
• Management of complications of prior pelvic surgery, radiation, and oncologic treatment

Operative volume, case distribution, and category thresholds meet or exceed GURS verification standards, and a de-identified GURS-format surgical case log is maintained for every advanced trainee. Clinical training is complemented by structured outpatient continuity, multidisciplinary conferences, and progressive responsibility in perioperative decision-making.

Scholarly productivity is a central expectation of the advanced trainee. Consistent with GURS re-verification criteria, the fellow is expected to complete and disseminate at least one original research project during the training year, culminating in a peer-reviewed manuscript and/or a presentation or accepted abstract at a national or international meeting (e.g., AUA, an AUA Section meeting, SIU, or EAU). Faculty provide mentorship in study design, data analysis, and academic writing. The advanced trainee is also expected to apply for GURS membership during or upon completion of the program.
