The Division of Urogynecology is currently comprised of 4 surgeons, who specialize in treating complex pelvic floor disorders. They serve as a tertiary referral service for women dealing with various conditions, including lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic organ prolapse, defecatory dysfunction, and pelvic pain. The team maintains robust collaborations with Urology, Colorectal Surgery, and Pelvic Physiotherapy.

The Division is seeking an individual with clinical expertise and skills in the following areas:

1. High-quality medical and surgical management of individuals with complex pelvic floor disorders, providing leading-edge diagnostic tools and therapies. Clinical responsibilities will extend to both Mount Sinai Hospital and Women’s College Hospital.

3. Contribution to scholarly work within the Division of Urogynecology based on clinical and/or research interests. This may include knowledge translation, patient education, digital platforms, retrospective and/or prospective cohort studies, as well as education and simulation.

4. Contribution to the two-year Urogynecology fellowship which is run across Mount Sinai Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Enthusiastic participation in all levels of our teaching and education mandate is expected, with teaching duties for learners within the department.
