Nagler, MD, FACS, president of the Urology Care Foundation. "Through the generous support of Boston Scientific, the Urology Care Foundation will be able to provide medical students an opportunity to learn from leaders in urology and to build a career in research."

Each program year, one medical student will be selected as a fellow. Applicants must be either a current or matriculating medical student. They may not hold an advanced degree in a biomedical research-related field and must be entering or returning to medical school following the completion of the research period. With an emphasis on increasing the diversity of the urologic community, the fellowship will seek to advance students from underrepresented backgrounds who demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing a career in urology and a passion for research.
Applications will open in October 2022 and the first fellow's program will begin in July 2023.
"We are honored to collaborate with the Urology Care Foundation to support the creation of this fellowship and help increase diversity and inclusive representation in the field of urology and in clinical research," said Meghan Scanlon, senior vice president and president, Urology and Pelvic Health, Boston Scientific. "This fellowship is particularly needed now as urologists have told us they are concerned about the unsustainably low number of new urologists entering the field compared to the growing patient demand. It is more critical now than ever to support medical students from all backgrounds who are interested in pursuing urology specialties and research that may lead to innovative technologies to improve patient care."
