Fellowship description:

The fellow will have 2 days per week for designated reseach activity. The fellow will be involved with percutaneous access procedures under the guidance of interventional radiology. The fellow will participate in our metabolic stone clinic, which has seen over 750 patients with recurrent stone disease under the guidance of nephrologists and dieticians. The fellow has the option of becoming involved with the brachytherapy program. The fellow must have at least one laboratory project and submit a competitive manuscript to the Journal of Endourology essay contest by the end of the fellowship period.
