For applicants

Career development

Career planning starts early because hiring, licensure, credentialing, and contract review can outlast the fellowship year.

Decide the practice mix, geography, academic role, and protected time you want early, and build the target list before interview travel starts eating the clinical schedule. Ask for letters while there is still a year of work to describe, not at the deadline. Read contracts on role, resources, call, clinical scope, research support, intellectual property, and restrictive terms, because those decide whether the practice you planned is the practice you get. Licensure and credentialing start once the position and the state are known.

The public reconstructive urology fellowship tree shows where reconstructive fellows have trained and practiced. It is a network map, not an employment ranking.
