Urology Fellowship
Mission
To provide the best clinical and research experience in pediatric urology, while individualizing each fellow's education.
Goals
- Ensure the fellow develops the cognitive and technical skills necessary to assess children suspected of having a pediatric urological disease.
- Accurately and, with the least invasion, diagnose and develop a treatment plan for children with urological disease.
- Implement diagnostic studies and operative or non-operative therapy using the most contemporary radiological and technical tools.
History
The fellowship program was first approved in 2004 by the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education). The first year consists of clinical pediatric urology; the second year is dedicated to clinical and basic research. The last ACGME Site Visit was held June 2006, and awarded full accreditation for five years.
Current Fellows
Dr. Douglas W. Storm began his two year pediatric urology fellowship July 1, 2008. Prior to fellowship, Dr. Storm completed urology residency at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA.
Dr. Ashay S. Patel began his first year of his two year fellowship July 1, 2009. Prior to fellowship, Dr. Patel completed a one year clinical assistant professorship at The Ohio State University Medical Center, following the completion of his urology residency at OSUMC.
Program Description
The pediatric urology fellow works directly with three fellowship trained, full time, Nationwide Children’s Hospital based academic pediatric urologists as well as a cadre of specialized, board eligible and certified health care providers and researchers in pediatric medical and surgical fields.
Surgical education includes all aspects of inpatient and outpatient pediatric urology, including laparoscopic, ESWL and endourologic techniques under the direct supervision of the pediatric urology faculty. The ambulatory care experience is office based, directly supervised by faculty and allows for instruction and interpretation of contemporaneously performed radiologic and urodynamic studies. During the research year, the fellow is encouraged to research in greater detail the aspects of pediatric urological diseases, including processes, pathophysiology and/or treatment which are of special interest to them. The fellow will then develop a plan to pursue these special interests in greater clinical or laboratory detail with the assistance of a member of the faculty who will provide supervision and guidance.
