B.  Introduction
1. History.
This program was begun in 1989 as a one year program.  Twenty two (22) individuals have completed the training program; currently eighteen (18) individuals hold appointments in academic and teaching institutions.  Four (4) are in private practice settings. 

2. Duration.
This is a 12 month fellowship beginning 1 July of each academic year and completed on 30 June the following year. 

3. Prerequisite Training/ Selection Criteria.
Each candidate must have completed an ACGME Urology Residency Training Program.  Candidates are initially screened by review of a current curriculum vitae and their letter of application.  Special interest in future academic and scholarly activities is considered highly favorable.  Selected individuals are invited for a personal interview by faculty members in the Urology Department and an appropriate candidate is selected.

4. Goals and Objectives for training.
The educational purpose of this program is to train individuals for a future academic career in reconstructive and trauma related urology.  The goals of the program are to provide the trainee with extensive surgical experience in reconstructive urology, including adult urethral and genital reconstruction, urinary diversion and fistula repairs, genital cancer and penile preservation procedures, adult pelvic and urethral reconstruction, diagnosis and management of male urinary incontinence.  Traumatic urological injury diagnosis and management is focused at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) and provides the opportunity for the trainee to work as a member of a Trauma Team providing care for acute trauma to the urinary and genital system.  The trauma experience provides the trainee additional reconstructive experience in the acutely injured patient.

The research experience is based on outcomes research utilizing an extensive trauma and reconstructive database developed over the past 30 years.  Fellows are supervised and guided through development of research projects, which include protocol preparation and development, statistical analysis, data collection techniques, data interpretation, manuscript preparation, etc.  It is expected that each trainee will complete and publish multiple manuscripts during the fellowship.

Learning how to be a surgeon educator and future role model is one of the major goals of this program.

C.  Resources
1. Teaching Staff/ Faculty
Dr. Jack W. McAninch, Professor of Urology and Chief of Urology at San Francisco General Hospital, is the primary supervisor and provides the guidance for the trainee to fully develop the goals and objectives of the program.  The other members of the Department of Urology faculty provide valuable guidance in clinical care and research program development during the academic year.

2. Facilities.
The principle training sites are San Francisco General Hospital and UCSF Medical Center.

D.  Educational Programs – Basic Curriculum
Elements of the training program:

1. Clinical and research components.
The clinical experience is based at SFGH and UCSF Hospitals with the focus on urological reconstruction and trauma.  As outlined under goals, the trainee is supervised and guided through a large variety of complex reconstructive procedures on adults with urethral, genital, pelvic and intra-abdominal conditions.  Emphasis is placed on learning a wide range of surgical techniques and on intra-operative and surgical skills teaching of residents.
           
Research experience is supervised and guided to enhance development of prospective protocols for outcomes research, data analysis, and manuscript preparation.

A variety of didactic classes involving research and data analysis is available at UCSF and fellows are encouraged to attend and utilize these valuable resources.

2. Participant’s supervisory and patient care responsibilities.
Fellows in this program have continuous supervision by Dr. Jack W. McAninch, the Program Director, with assistance from the other 13 faculty members of the Urology Department.  A wide range of support, at various levels from research to surgical and operative skills, comes from the Urology faculty.

The fellow is supervised at all levels of clinical care including clinic and outpatient care, operative decision making, operative skills, post-operative care.  It is expected that during the 12 months, the fellow will develop training and demonstrate increasing responsibility in clinical areas.

3. Didactic components.
The fellow meets and/or communicates with the fellowship director on a daily basis to discuss patient care and research issues.  This constitutes valuable education and guidance through the fellowship.  Attendance of the UCSF teaching conferences, grand rounds, morbidity and mortality conference, and SFGH weekly didactic rounds is expected.

Apply by which date:  Applications are due December 1, 2012, for start date of July 1, 2012.
 
Date by which the Fellowship is generally awarded:   Applicant applying for Fellowship starting July 1, 2012, will know by January 31, 2012.
