A Message from Jack Mydlo, MD
Professor and Chair, Department of Urology

The Department of Urology at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine is fortunate to have national and international experts treating all aspects of benign and oncologic urology. Through our involvement in the Fox Chase-Temple Urologic Institute, we have fellowship trained urologists in truly all subspecialties of urology, including; pediatrics, reconstruction, oncology, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, endourology, andrology/male infertility, gender affirming surgery, and neurourology. Our program has undergone significant expansion in recent years with the addition of multiple new faculty members and the creation of a new rotation site at Chestnut Hill Hospital. This significant growth of our program has allowed us to expand our residency from three to four residents per year, beginning with our 2023 intern class.

Our residency program consists of five unique rotation sites each offering different expertise and practice styles:

• Temple University Hospital: general urology, andrology, gender affirming surgery, urologic oncology, reconstruction, neurourology
• Fox Chase Cancer Center: urologic oncology, reconstruction
• Temple University Hospital - Jeanes Campus: general urology, endourology, FPMRS, urologic oncology, reconstruction
• Chestnut Hill Hospital: general urology, andrology, endourology, FPMRS, urologic oncology, reconstruction 
• St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children – Pediatrics

We have a combined faculty of over 25, the vast majority of whom are fellowship trained in some of the finest programs in the country.  Our residents have been accepted in to many of the nation’s most prestigious fellowship programs, including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Duke University, Mayo Clinic, UT Southwestern, MD Andersen Cancer Center, University of Southern California, and the Cleveland Clinic. We also graduate residents who are offered competitive private practice positions both locally and nationally.

As a clinical department, our goal is to provide the best urological care possible for our patients. As a residency program, our goal is to make sure that each resident has the best possible training and mentorship in the art and science of urology, so that they are optimally prepared for the future careers, whether that be in academic medicine or in private practice. 
We are extremely proud of our department and our residency program, and are constantly striving to be one of the premier training programs in the country. 

Sincerely,
Jack Mydlo, MD, MBA, FACS
