Fellowship Overview
The Department of Urology of Cleveland Clinic in Florida, an integral component of the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute, offers fellowship training in Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction, Male Infertility and Prosthetics. The educational program is focused on the areas of male and female sexual medicine and surgery, hypogonadism, andrology, Peyronie's Disease, male-factor infertility, post-prostatectomy penile restoration and rehabilitation, minimally invasive BPH surgery, male incontinence and advanced urologic prosthetics. Our fellows develop clinical expertise in the anatomy, physiology, pathophysology and diagnostic evaluation of sexual dysfunction, including hemodynamic testing, as well as the therapeutic management of patients with vasculogenic, neurogenic and endocrinologic erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's Disease in our large academic-based referral center. In our Men's Health Center, our fellows gain considerable experience in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of male voiding problems, including BPH and urinary incontinence, utilizing state of the art minimally invasive therapies, such as: laser surgery, urethral sling surgery and advanced artificial urinary sphincter prosthetic devices. Another important area of concentration during the fellowship is in the field of male factor infertility and reproductive medicien and surgery. The fellows develop expertise in the pathophysiology and diagnostic evaluation of MFI, as well as extensive clinical experience in both the medical and surgical management of MFI with a special emphasis on microsurgery. Our program is involved in various ongoing clinical trials and outcomes research studies which allow the fellow the opportunity to publish in the peer-reviewed literature and present their research at large national and international meetings.
