| Herbert Lepor, M.D. |
The
NYU School of Medicine has been at the forefront of urology and urologic
research since its founding in 1841. Since 1993, under the leadership
of Dr. Herbert Lepor, the Urology Department
has established itself as the premier center in New York City for urologic care.
Clinical and Laboratory Research, The Backbone of Our Commitment
NIH funding for NYU urological research is among the highest for a urology department in the nation. To assure the continued cross-fertilization of research and patient care, basic scientists with primary academic appointments work closely with the NYU Urology Associates on research, leading to a better understanding of clinical problems.
Education
All of our doctors are also faculty at NYU School of Medicine. As medical educators,
they have a responsibility to the next generation of physicians, both to equip
them with the latest information and techniques, and to advance this body of
knowledge for future generations.
- The NYU Department of Urology sponsors a fully accredited 4-year residency training program. Residents and medical students actively participate in the clinical and research programs.
- NYU Urology Associates sponsors an annual post-graduate course that is attended by practicing urologists from throughout the country and the world.
- NYU Urology Associates promotes education by serving as visiting professors, lecturing at national and international organizations and medical societies, and by preparing educational material for our patient community.
