Oncology — The surgical management of neoplasms, involving the adrenals, kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, urethra, testes, and external genitalia.

Calculi — Incorporates the medical, endoscopic, extracorporeal, percutaneous, and surgical management of stones within the urinary tract.

Infertility — The medical and surgical treatment of male infertility.

Pediatrics — A medical and surgical treatment program for urological diseases affecting the pediatric population.

Transplant — Renal transplantation.

Neurourology — Includes the urodynamic evaluation of patients, and medical and surgical management of voiding disorders and erectile dysfunction.
