The one-year Men's Health and Fertility Urology Fellowship is located in the Department of Urology. The appointee shall provide services in the Department of Urology as assigned by the fellowship director. This will include ambulatory clinical practice and surgical practice in any of the OHSU or partner operating rooms. The fellow will develop a thorough understanding of the evaluation and management of Men's Health and Fertility-related urologic conditions. Fellows will spend their time with different faculty performing men’s health and fertility-related care. How this exposure is balanced will depend on fellow interest, previous exposure in prior training, surgical skill, as well as clinical demand. Exposure to other urologic surgeries is important for a well-rounded training experience and to gain greater insight and knowledge about men’s health and fertility principles. An average of 2-3 days per week will be spent in an outpatient clinical setting/research/administrative time. As this field is very collaborative with other specialties, fellows will have extensive exposure to other disciplines. Fellows will be expected to attend all meetings of the OHSU Urology department for faculty. Fellows will attend and be expected to present research and clinical teaching presentations at national and international meetings. Fellows may be asked to give teaching presentations within OHSU and locally, as well. Fellows will act as a point of contact for residents in the residents' management of patient care. This may include rounding on weekends at times.   As board-eligible and licensed urologists, Fellows will take call as OHSU faculty at a frequency consistent with other OHSU Urology faculty and be responsible for clinical care as a result of those duties. Fellows may also be called upon to periodically staff patient consults seen and worked-up by the residents. This is important in developing autonomy needed for future practice, as well as financial support of the fellowship position.   Outstanding level of professional performance expected. Professional performance is delivered in a manner that is compliant with the regulation and guidelines of all relevant regulating bodies (i.e. DNV, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, OHSU IRB, NIH and all other state, federal, and institutional regulatory guidelines.) Treats all patients, research subjects, trainees and co-workers with dignity and respect.   Academics: Fellow may be involved in teaching support staff in their area of professional expertise. Teaching is done through assigned lectures to be given during the course of the year and through teaching in the course of performing their own job by modeling best practices, mentoring trainees, guiding learning through delegating graduated and focused levels of responsibility. Must be knowledgeable of and compliant with all applicable regulating bodies (e.g. ACGME competencies for clinical faculty, NIH guidelines for research faculty).   Research: May maintain a program of scholarly research activity directed toward improved understanding for the causes, detection, and treatment of diseases. May engage in public service through consultative activities with OHSU and non-University groups as approved by the Chair. Must have satisfactory record of accomplishments in scholarship and service.

The position will focus on technical assistance in support of several projects including (but not limited to): maintaining and expanding cell cultures from cell lines and primary cells, immunofluorescence staining, hydrogel preparation, laboratory maintenance, ordering and inventorying laboratory supplies.   A strong preference will be given to applicants with knowledge of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cancer research. Past experience with Organoids, Bioprinting or Organs on-a-chip are a bonus. The ideal candidate will have a degree in biomedical engineering, biomaterials or stem cell research, a record of publications, a proven record of independence, and a background in tissue engineering. The position includes a significant amount of basic laboratory operations (basic instrumentation maintenance, general laboratory support, biosafety, ordering materials and supplies) and support with editing grants/manuscripts. 

An ideal candidate will have a PhD in the described areas of interest, a strong record of publications, a proven record of independence, able to work effectively with the principal investigator and co-supervise graduate students, and independently solve problems. This position necessitates an ability to be highly organized, adaptable, and detail oriented.

They will also play an essential role in teaching and training and will present at conferences.

Clinical: Fellows will spend their time with different faculty performing gender-affirming surgeries, as well as other reconstructive urologic surgeries. How this exposure is balanced will depend on fellow interest, previous exposure in prior training, surgical skill, as well as clinical demand. Exposure to other reconstructive surgeries is important for a well-rounded training experience and to gain greater insight and knowledge about reconstructive principles. We anticipate that on average one day a week will be spent in an outpatient clinical setting/research/administrative time. Exposure to outpatient management is critical in building comfort and sensitivity with a vulnerable, underserved, and frequently traumatized patient population.   As this field is very collaborative with other specialties, fellows will have extensive exposure to other disciplines. Fellows will be expected to attend all meetings of the OHSU Transgender Health Program, including monthly committee meetings, monthly multi-disciplinary case reviews, etc. Fellows will attend and be expected to present research and clinical teaching presentations at national and international meetings, in particular the WPATH/USPATH/EPATH meetings, and the annual AUA meeting. Fellows may be asked to give teaching presentations within OHSU and locally, as well.   Dr. Jens Berli, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, who leads our Phalloplasty program, plans a fellowship training program for Plastic Surgeons in gender-affirming surgery as well. We envision a formal “exchange” period where the Urology and Plastic Surgery fellows would rotate for 2-3 months with the other service and act as the fellow for that service. This is particularly important in learning about phalloplasty procedures, and learning surgical skills unique to a plastic surgery experience. Fellows will make daily patient rounds and act as a point of contact for residents in the residents’ management of patient care. This may include rounding on weekends at times.   As board-eligible and licensed urologists, Fellows will take call as OHSU faculty at a frequency consistent with other OHSU Urology faculty and be responsible for clinical care as a result of those duties. Fellows may also be called upon to periodically staff patient consults seen and worked-up by the residents. This is important in developing autonomy needed for future practice, as well as financial support of the fellowship position.   Outstanding level of professional performance expected.

Must be knowledgeable of and compliant with all applicable regulating bodies (e.g. ACGME competencies for clinical faculty, NIH guidelines for research faculty).   Research: The existing research in gender-affirming reconstructive surgery is relatively limited. This positions us for ground-breaking research in this sub-specialty. Many opportunities for research collaboration exist within the OHSU Transgender Health Program with Plastic Surgery, primary care in both Internal Medicine and Family Medicine and other specialties.
