The Brady Urological Institute, which opened in 1915, was the first urology residency in the United States. From its inception, this Institute has been dedicated to the training of academic urologists. We have well-developed programs in all aspects of adult and pediatric urology including robotics, reconstructive surgery, urological oncology, male infertility and sexual dysfunction, urodynamics, female urology, endourology, laparoscopy, and stone disease.
The Mission of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is tripartite:

David J. McConkey, Ph.D.
has been appointed director of the Johns Hopkins Greenberg Bladder Cancer Institute, whose members include experts from the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, the James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute, and the school of medicine’s departments of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences, Surgery, and Pathology.
Dr. Carter, Professor of Urology and Oncology, is an internationally recognized expert in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Dr. Carter trained in urological surgery at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and completed a fellowship in urological oncology at the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins. In 1989, he joined the Johns Hopkins Medicine faculty as an assistant professor of urology, was promoted to associate professor in 1993, and full professor of urology and oncology in 1998.
Dr. Carter’s career has been focused on promoting a balanced approach to prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Although trained as a surgeon, he has been a voice of reason emphasizing the public health concerns of over diagnosis and over treatment of prostate cancer. Dr. Carter’s research interests and academic involvement have been directed toward reducing the harms of prostate cancer screening by improving screening practices. He led the American Urological Association Guideline Panel for the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer that developed the first urological guidelines for prostate cancer screening. His development of a program in 1995 at Johns Hopkins to reduce the unnecessary treatment of localized prostate cancer has led to the acceptance of active surveillance as a standard of care approach to the management of favorable risk disease.
For his outstanding contributions in the field of prostate cancer, specifically in the areas of PSA screening and surveillance, Dr. Carter has been recognized by the American Urological Association with the Urology Care Foundation Distinguished Scholar Alumnus, the Distinguished Contribution Award, the Eugene Fuller Triennial Prostate Award, and the Huggins Medal from the Society of Urologic Oncology.
Dr. Trinity Bivalacqua received the AUA Gold Cystoscope Award, one of the highest honors awarded by the AUA. It recognizes the young urologist who has made the most contributions during the first 10 years following completion of his residency. Recipients of this Award have a distinguished history of going on to become leaders in the field. Examples of this include the following Brady faculty and former residents: Patrick Walsh, William Catalona, Mani Menon, Herbert Lepor, Louis Kavoussi, Alan Partin, Jeffrey Cadeddu, and William Roberts.
