ANDROLOGY & MEN'S HEALTH APP FELLOWSHIP
ANDROLOGY & MEN'S HEALTH APP FELLOWSHIP
About the Andrology & Men's Health Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship
The one-year Andrology and Men’s Health Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship is designed to prepare the APP Fellow for independent clinical practice in men’s health through progressive, competency-based training in comprehensive evaluation, procedural care, and multidisciplinary management of male urologic and sexual health conditions.
The fellowship year is structured into three progressive phases. The initial phase emphasizes observation and foundational learning, during which the Fellow will shadow Advanced Practice Providers, fellowship-trained men's health physicians, reconstructive urologists and non-operative urologists, and participate in division-wide educational activities including weekly conferences, journal club, and resident teaching. The second phase focuses on supervised clinical practice, with increasing responsibility for patient care and the development of procedural and surgical assisting skills. The final phase emphasizes independent clinical practice with remote faculty supervision.
The fellowship prepares graduates to integrate into established men’s health practices, participate in the development and expansion of new men’s health services and be leaders in their field.
