Our fellowship program accepts applications and reviews candidates in accordance with the guidelines and policies of the Society of Urologic Oncology Fellowship Match Program. Please refer to the SUO website to view the Fellowship Match Application, along with registration instructions and the timeline for the match.

In general, the application for the Fellowship in Urologic Oncology should be submitted at least 19 months prior to the completion of residency (i.e., by December 1 of the year preceding the chief residency year). Candidates for our fellowship program must have completed an approved general urology residency and be eligible to hold a New York State medical license. Foreign medical school graduates need to have a valid ECFMG certificate and complete all three parts of the USMLE.

Candidates will be contacted regarding an interview date. Interviews are conducted in the spring of the year preceding the appointment year and are arranged on an individual basis with those candidates deemed most competitive. Positions are offered after the SUO Fellowship Match results are announced.

The following items should be incorporated into your packet prior to the fellowship year you are interested in:

• SUO Match Program - Registration
• SUO Application
• Most current curriculum vitae
• Three letters of recommendation including a letter of support from your program director and an additional letter from a faculty member recommending the candidate for the fellowship and attesting to the candidate's successful completion of the urology training program.

If you are recommended for a fellowship appointment, we will need the following:

• Medical school diploma
• Official medical school transcript (English translation required for foreign graduates)
• Certificates of completion from ALL residencies or fellowships
• Letter of good standing from your current program director
• Official USMLE transcript
• Valid ECFMG certificate (for foreign medical school graduates)
• Photo (not required, but beneficial)
