Medical College of Wisconsin Pediatric Urology Fellowship

The mission of the Medical College of Wisconsin Pediatric Urology Fellowship Program is to provide each trainee with clinical, surgical, research, teaching and administrative skills to provide outstanding medical and surgical management of pediatric patients with complex urologic problems. This is done through training our house staff with an emphasis on compassion for patients and providing cost-effective care. Our program supports a diverse and innovative culture for all faculty, house staff, and administrative personnel.

Pediatric Urology Fellowship training

Children's Wisconsin and Medical College of Wisconsin’s two-year urology ACGME-approved fellowship program is structured to provide fellows with a rich training experience and prepare trainees for careers in academic pediatric urology. Fellows will develop in knowledge, skills and judgment to function independently and at an advanced level in the medical and surgical management of pediatric patients with complex urological problems and develop a thirst for future study and learning which will endure throughout a productive career in pediatric urology. Our program supports a diverse and innovative culture for all faculty, housestaff, and administrative personnel.

Meet Our Director | Travis Groth, MD

Dr. Groth is a pediatric urologist who treats infants, children and teens in all aspects of pediatric urology. He specializes in minimally invasive surgery and robotic laparoscopic surgery. This technology allows him to do surgery with smaller incisions leading to smaller scars (better cosmetics), decreased pain and quicker recovery compared to open surgeries with similar success rates. Dr. Groth graduated the University of Minnesota Medical School in 2003, completed his residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2008, and his fellowship there in 2009. He has also received a “Best Doctors in America” award. Dr. Groth is certified in both Pediatric Urology, and Urology.
