Fellowships

Satyendra Tewari Fellowship Program

The Indian American Urological Association (IAUA) provides outstanding and promising junior faculty members in India with an opportunity to interact with colleagues in North America.

Medical advances are often the result of collaboration, and this program has the potential to directly impact the educational opportunities for young urologists while improving the delivery of quality care to patients in India. This level of collaboration also allows for the sharing of knowledge and experience, but also enhances the global perspectives while fostering a closer alliance between the IAUA and USI.
