Advanced Practice Provider, Urology Fellowship – Surgical Track
About The Position
The Garry Weber APP Urology Fellowship – Surgical Track is a structured, 12-month postgraduate program for eligible Physician Assistants and Acute Care Nurse Practitioners. The fellowship provides broad exposure to Urology through inpatient management, outpatient clinic activities, urologic procedural training, and operating-room first-assist training. Fellows receive mentorship from experienced APPs and Urologists and progress toward increased clinical and surgical autonomy. The first six months build foundational knowledge across Urology subspecialties, including BPH/LUTS, kidney stone disease and mineral metabolism, urologic oncology, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, neurourology, reconstructive Urology, prosthetics, and trauma. During the second six months, fellows gain increasing autonomy, including first assisting in robotic cases at Clements University Hospital. Fellows also see and manage patients in ambulatory care and at the hospital. Educational activities include weekly preoperative conferences and Grand Rounds, monthly Journal Clubs, Urology M&M Conferences, the annual Paul C. Peters Urology Symposium, and other educational and CME opportunities. The 2027 fellowship is anticipated to begin in March 2027. The annual salary is $95,000. The position is security-sensitive and subject to criminal history record information review under Texas Education Code 51.215.
