Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Fellowship

We’re excited about your interest in building your future in urogynecology at Corewell Health - Grand Rapids/Michigan State University. Our three-year fellowship combines advanced clinical and surgical training, dedicated mentorship, and protected research time to help you grow as a subspecialist, educator, and researcher. 

Welcome to the Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Fellowship at Corewell Health - Grand Rapids/Michigan State University. Choosing where to pursue subspecialty training is a defining step in your professional journey. Our ACGME-accredited, three-year fellowship offers two positions annually for graduates of obstetrics and gynecology residency programs, with our inaugural class beginning August 1, 2027. We are committed to helping you translate your ambition into clinical expertise, scholarly purpose, and the confidence to lead within our specialty.  

Your fellowship should offer more than procedural experience, it should refine how you think, deepen your judgment, and help you define the physician you aspire to become. Here, the breadth of an established referral practice is paired with close, individualized mentorship. You will learn from varied clinical and surgical perspectives, developing the expertise to approach complex conditions thoughtfully, select appropriate treatments, and align care with what matters most to each patient.  

Building on your training in obstetrics and gynecology, our curriculum integrates comprehensive urogynecology care and reconstructive surgery with complementary experiences in urology, colorectal surgery, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Simulation, protected didactics, and progressive clinical responsibility will support your transition from residency graduate to independent subspecialist. Throughout this process, our focus is on developing both technical proficiency and the discernment essential to excellent surgical care.

This fellowship will provide opportunities to deepen your scholarly interests. Twelve months of protected research will provide you with dedicated time to pursue meaningful questions, develop investigative skills, and contribute to the evidence that advances our field. Through mentorship and collaborative scholarship, we aim to help you establish an academic focus that reflects your strengths and supports the career you envision.

Joining an inaugural class offers a distinctive opportunity to train within an established clinical practice while helping define the traditions and educational culture of a new fellowship. Your perspective, curiosity, and initiative will contribute to that foundation. We welcome applicants who aspire to combine surgical excellence with compassionate care, rigorous inquiry, and collaborative leadership. Our commitment is to an environment in which mentorship is intentional, questions are valued, and your development remains central.

I invite you to consider the physician, surgeon, and scholar you hope to become and how our fellowship can help you realize that vision. Thank you for considering Corewell Health - Grand Rapids/Michigan State University for this important next chapter. I look forward to learning about your aspirations and the perspective you would bring to our inaugural fellowship community.
