The goal of the Urologic Oncology Fellowship program at The Mount Sinai Hospital is to train fellows to become experts in all aspects of urologic oncology and train future leaders in the field. The fellowship is fully accredited by the Society of Urologic Oncology and is a two-year program with one year dedicated to clinical experience and the other to clinical and/or basic science research.
During the clinical year, the fellow will develop extensive experience in both open and robotic surgeries for treatment of bladder cancer (with intracorporeal urinary diversions), renal cell carcinoma, upper tract urothelial carcinoma, prostate cancer, testis cancer, penile cancer, genitourinary (GU) sarcomas, and other rare GU cancers. At our center we have one of the highest volumes of robotic surgery in the nation, treating all aspects of GU malignancies. Prior fellows have been involved in more than 250 major robotic surgeries during their one-year clinicals. By the end of the fellowship, it is expected that the fellow be able to perform these operations independently.
During the research year, the fellow will be exposed in how to conduct basic science and/or clinical research with the expectation of generating and submitting original research for presentation and publication. The program will provide fellows access to funded laboratories, projects, and resources so they can pursue a productive research year.
