The USC Institute of Urology is now offering a 1-2 year clinical fellowship in advanced laparoscopy and robotics. The fellowship will involve research and intensive clinical experience in robotics and laparoscopy for urologic cancers as well as benign conditions.
Abundant opportunity for basic and clinical research is available at USC. Fellows will have the option of working on basic science projects with one of 7 basic science investigators led by Dr Peter Jones, currently doing research on various aspects of basic urologic oncology. Fellows will also have access to a fully equipped small and large animal laboratory for pre-clinical projects. USC Institute of Urology has excellent clinical databases for all urologic cancers that would be ideal for fellows interested in clinical outcomes research.
The fellows will conduct clinical cases primarily at the USC University Hospital, and the LAC+USC Medical Center. The fellows work directly with the full-time academic faculty on both the private and County Hospital services (Drs. Inderbir Gill, Matt Dunn, Mihir Desai, and Monish Aron) and with the residents and interns on each service. The fellows are expected to participate in over 500 laparoscopic/robotic cases over a 1-year period.
The fellow is appointed as a junior faculty member (Clinical Instructor in Urology) and will have appropriate responsibilities to help staff cases at the LAC+USC Medical Center as well as taking call from home. The fellow will also be expected to independently staff one out-patient clinic a week.
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. We are currently accepting applications for July 2011 start date.
