Description du poste

The Andrology Fellowship at the University of Virginia aims to provide the Fellow with the depth of knowledge and surgical skill necessary to provide expert specialty care in the field of Andrology (sexual medicine and male infertility) to the patient. Microsurgical techniques and experiences are taught in primarily in a clinical environment with additional opportunities, such as a prosthetics cadaver lab dispersed throughout the year. Office-based assessment for patients with sexual dysfunction or infertility is experienced through a mentorship approach. The Fellow will be expected to continue work as a General Urologist during the Fellowship allowing a maturation of surgical skills and knowledge. This also permits the opportunity for operative and clinic based teaching of residents. Research time is protected to ensure the opportunity to explore clinical questions. Both clinical and bench research opportunities are available. Fellows interested in bench research are guided by a dedicated laboratory staff with a strong background in Andrology research. Upon completion, the Fellow will have the background to become a leader in the field of Andrology through Research and Clinical Practice. Clinical time (two half-day clinics and on average 2.5 OR day/week) represents approximately 90% of the Fellowship experience.

Clinical time will include the Fellow’s own clinic and surgery. The clinic will run parallel with the Fellowship faculty’s clinic to allow discussion and review of Andrology and infertility cases. General urology patients will also be included in the Fellow’s clinical time with the majority of patients being examined for problems with infertility and sexual dysfunction (vasectomy reversal, oligo/azoospermia, Peyronie’s disease, ART evaluations etc). Surgical time will be performed at the outpatient surgery center, clinic procedure rooms and main operating rooms. It is required that the Fellow participate in all Andrology cases. The Fellow is able to schedule and perform general urologic procedures within their ability.
