The Society of Urologic Oncology fellowship has been recognized as one of the premier training programs in the country for open surgical skills. We are now expanding the program to encompass minimally invasive and robotic techniques.
This is a comprehensive two-year fellowship in urologic oncology. Fellows will spend one year in a basic science laboratory working with one of eight basic science investigators currently doing research in one or more aspects of urologic oncology. Throughout both years, the fellows will also be involved in clinical and animal research projects.
The second year is spent on the clinical services. The clinical year includes a broad experience in all aspects of urologic oncology, including hands-on surgical experience with complex open, minimally- invasive and robotic surgeries. The fellows will work at three institutions: Keck Hospital of USC, USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Los Angeles General. The same core-teaching faculty work in all three institutions, and the fellows will have the opportunity to work with all of them. The fellow will learn both open and minimally invasive techniques (including robotic) for many of these surgeries from faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized experts in performing these surgeries. The fellows will also gain exposure to medical oncology and radiation therapy treatments for urologic cancers, participate actively in multidisciplinary conferences and work with the staff and fellows on those services on a regular basis.
Candidates for this fellowship should be eligible for licensure in California and should have completed full training in urology. In general graduates of ACGME-accredited residency in the US and Canada will be given preference. International graduates who are eligible for licensure may also apply.
