General Urology- Geisinger

The Department of Urology at Geisinger, a national leader in quality, innovation, research and education, is seeking fellowship-trained pediatric urologists.  Candidates must be eligible for certification by the American Board of Urology.  Applicants must possess a strong commitment to high quality patient care and resident and medical student education. 

There is also opportunity to conduct clinical research.   Located across Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania, Geisinger’s Department of Urology consists of over 20 general and subspecialty fellowship trained urologists providing urologic care system-wide.   

 The program is excited to welcome an additional generalist, but subspecialty interests can be supported in the context of a general urology position. An incoming FPMRS-fellowship trained urologist would have an especially robust practice. This is an ideal opportunity for a urologist seeking a nice work/life balance with a focus on providing excellent patient care.
