Urogynecology & Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Fellowship

About the URPS Fellowship


The URPS Fellowship is primarily based at BIDMC with clinical rotations also available at Mount Auburn Hospital (MAH) in Cambridge. Our clinician-researchers are trained to provide excellent patient-centered care for patients with pelvic floor disorders, while fostering an inclusive, collaborative and interdisciplinary learning environment.

The goals of our fellowship program are to:

  • Train the next generation of clinicians who are skilled pelvic surgeons, passionate clinicians and insightful scientists, who have the comprehensive abilities to conceptualize and address female pelvic floor disorders with an array of treatment options based on individual patient needs.
  • Implement and publish results of research projects addressing the key issues in clinical areas of urogynecology.
  • Teach and collaborate with medical student, residents, fellows and faculty from other sub-specialties.

With these goals in mind, we strive to ensure our graduating fellows are capable of independent practice. Among these objectives, we work to ensure that upon graduation, the fellow will be confident in performing a variety of surgical reconstructive procedures, utilizing laparoscopic, vaginal robotic and abdominal surgical modalities as needed. They will be able to evaluate and treat a variety of disorders in female pelvic medicine in the outpatient setting and be familiar with the most common urologic, gastrointestinal and colorectal diseases that impact women.
