Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Fellowship Program Research

Fellows in the Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) Fellowship Program spend the entire second year in the research lab but are also encouraged to continue clinical research pursuits. A primary goal of the fellowship program is the training of productive researchers.

Fellows are expected to present abstracts at national meetings and produce manuscripts for publication each year of the fellowship program.

Areas of research interest within the Division include:

  • Childbirth-related pelvic floor injury
  • Pathophysiology of prolapse and incontinence
  • Outcome of treatments for urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse
  • Animal models of pelvic floor injury
  • Anatomy of the pelvic floor

Laboratories in the Department include those of the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences and Maria Florian-Rodriguez, M.D.
