The Alan B. Retik Fellowship Program in Pediatric Urology is a two-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship with an optional third research year. During their first year, fellows are exposed to the full spectrum of pediatric urological care. The second year is a research year, and fellows can choose from a multitude of research options, including clinical and health services, basic research, and translational research.
