The fellowship offers all of the most modern andrological procedures to patients including testicular sperm extraction, male reproductive microsurgery, gamete micromanipulation, genetic evaluation, electroejaculation, erectile dysfunction evaluation and therapy, and many others.

The fellowship includes approximately 40% of time available to participate in research and an innovation curriculum in the University’s unique inter-college Innovation Center.
