The endourology fellowship program is under the direction of Dr. Li-Ming Su with five additional endourology faculty including David Chan, Christian Pavlovich, Brian Matlaga and Mohammed Allaf. The endourology fellowship is a one-year clinical fellowship program based out of the two campuses of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, namely the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. The fellow is appointed an official faculty title of Instructor in Urology with full hospital admitting and operative privileges, allowing the fellow to gain autonomy.

The endourology program is mainly geared towards training individuals interested in pursuing a career in academia.

Clinical Experience. As the recognized leading urology department in the United States, the Brady Urological Institute of Johns Hopkins serves as a tertiary referral center for patients both nationally and internationally. In addition, the Brady is well recognized as a center of excellence in Minimally Invasive Urology and attracts a large volume of patients with prostate, kidney, testis, adrenal malignancies and disorders, as well as stone disease. As such, the endourology fellow is exposed to a wide range of minimally invasive surgical interventions as listed above.

The Brady Urological Institute Minimally Invasive Surgery webpage offers a list of laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures that are part of the endourological training at Hopkins, all of which fellows are trained to perform independently by the end of their fellowship.

Laboratory/Clinical Investigations. The endourology fellowship offers fellows the opportunity tcollaborate with basic scientists, radiologists, and mechanical engineers on a variety of basic science and clinical projects:

The URobotics laboratory is under the direction of Dan Stoianovici, Ph.D. from the Mechanical Engineering Department. Dr. Stoianovici has been instrumental in the development of several generations of robotic devices to facilitate minimally invasive surgery such as percutaneous renal access and percutaneous ablation of renal lesions. In addition, the development of a home-based telesurgical station for the purposes of telementoring from a remote location was made in conjunction with the URobotics team.

Conferences. Fellows are encouraged to submit abstracts and attend two national meetings including the World Congress of Endourology and the American Urological Association meeting.

Eligibility. Applicants must be US board eligible in urology and interested in pursuing a career in academic medicine.
