FELLOWSHIP UPDATE

A message about the future of our fellowship

After more than a decade of directing one of the most sought-after fellowships in sexual medicine, male infertility, and andrology in the world, Men’s Health Melbourne will no longer be accepting applications for its 12 month clinical fellowship.

With Dr Love retiring as co-director at the end of 2027, our fellowship will formally conclude once our fellow from the United States completes his training in August 2027.

“Dr Love and I are enormously proud of every fellow we have had the privilege of training over the years. They have come to us from across the world — the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East — and each one has gone on to make a meaningful mark on our specialty.”

— A/Prof Darren Katz

All of our fellows have become highly accomplished urologists in this important subspecialty. Many have progressed into leadership roles in andrology, male infertility, and urological prosthetics. Every time we see a former fellow’s name on a paper in an esteemed journal, or presenting research from a podium, we take immense pride in knowing we played a part in their journey.

Dr Love and I remain in close contact with our fellows and continue to serve as their mentors — a relationship we value deeply.

Observership programme

As we transition away from the clinical fellowship, we are pleased to offer a formal observership programme for practising urologists who wish to gain exposure to the complex cases and procedures we undertake in andrology, male infertility, and urological prosthetics.

We are accepting observership applications — while the clinical fellowship is still running — and will continue to welcome observers well beyond 2027. Whether you are looking to visit in the near term or planning ahead, we encourage you to get in touch.

We recommend a minimum observership duration of two weeks to gain a meaningful appreciation of the breadth and complexity of our clinical work.

To apply, please email A/Prof Katz at dkatz@menshealthmelbourne.com.au with the following:

• Your current curriculum vitae (CV)
• A cover letter outlining the specific goals you aim to achieve during your observership
• Your proposed duration and preferred dates
