UI Health Care has Iowa’s largest team of board-certified urogynecologists. Our faculty are nationally recognized experts who strive to train the future of academic leaders in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery, who will advance healthcare through excellence in clinical care and scientific research.

The Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Fellowship at the University of Iowa provides advanced, hands-on training for physicians dedicated to improving women’s pelvic health. Our two tracks, three-year ACGME-accredited program – URPS (OBGYN) and, two-year ACGME-accredited program – URPS (UROLOGY) offer a comprehensive learning experience in both surgical and non-surgical management of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, lower urinary tract dysfunction, and childbirth-related injuries.

Our program has a longstanding close relationship with the Department of Urology, including multidisciplinary clinical care and shared research efforts going back over 20 years. This close relationship allows us to create a unique experience for our URPS fellowship and our fellows. With the blend of accepting residents trained in obstetrics and gynecology and residents trained in urology, our fellow’s education and training is enhanced from the combined knowledge and experience provided from each specialty.

Our fellowship includes five core faculty members, with three from Urogynecology (OB/Gyn) and three from our Department of Urology. Our core faculty actively participate in our fellowship teaching which occurs in the clinical setting, through didactics, journal club, conferences, staffing, grand rounds, and mentor meetings.

Applications are accepted through ERAS. We currently match residents trained in obstetrics & gynecology and residents trained in urology.
