Pediatric Urology
Clinical Fellowship
The Pediatric Urology Fellowship at UCSF Children's consists of one year of clinical pediatric urology and one to two years of basic research (two years for fellows on the NIH training grant). The program is an accredited fellowship by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Our research efforts are funded by the National Institute of Health, which includes a training grant in conjunction with UCSF's Department of Nephrology. The laboratory work is focused on the interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme in the urinary tract, genital development and urinary tract obstruction. The trainee's research years will be spent conducting ongoing research, and each trainee will be encouraged to develop his/her own field of interest. He/she will be trained in grant writing techniques as well as in preparing applications to internal review boards. The applicant is expected to publish a number of original research papers in the area of pediatric urology.
The clinical program is centered at UCSF. The University serves
a diverse patient population and receives a wide range of pediatric
urology cases. The entire UCSF faculty is involved in training
the pediatric urology fellow. The clinical rotation involves all
aspects of pediatric urology with specific rotations in outpatient
clinic, complex and ambulatory surgery, urodynamics, spina bifida
clinic, fetal treatment, transplantation reconstruction and pediatric
oncology (tumor board). Associated faculty that are instrumental
in the training of the pediatric urology fellow include the Pediatric
Endocrinologist, Nephrologists, Neonatalogist, Oncologists, Neurosurgeons,
Infectious Disease Specialist, Geneticists, Radiologists and Pediatric
Surgeons. The pediatric urology fellow also works with the Pediatric
Urologist Nurse Practitioner in the Pediatric Continence Clinic.
The Pediatric Urology Fellow is expected to attend and participate
in educational conferences, didactic teaching sessions, ward rounds
with the urology residents, and the yearly UCSF Pediatric Urology
Seminar.
James Betts, MD, Clinical Professor, leads the Pediatric Urology
Fellowship component at and Children's Hospital and Research Center
in Oakland where he is Senior Vice President and Surgeon-in-Chief.
The fellow's clinical training is supplemented with surgical cases
at Oakland as well as conferences in conjunction with nephrology
and radiology.
