Physician Careers

Join one of the country’s most respected urology group and enjoy a fulfilling and rewarding career as a physician.

The recruiting landscape for well-trained urology residents is competitive; however, The Urology Group has established a national reputation that makes our organization a premier choice for high-quality new or established urologists.

The Urology Group is a leading large urology practice, established in 1996, with robust integrated clinical and business operations. We provide most of the urologic care to the 2 million residents of the greater Cincinnati metropolitan region.

The Urology Group is an independent healthcare provider that prides itself on being nimble, forward thinking, and collaborative with other stakeholders in the healthcare community. This approach, as well as our investment in state-of-the-art technology, has allowed us to continually attract top talent from across the country.

Read about the evolution of our organization in our 2016 20^th Anniversary Report.

We recognize that the recruiting landscape for well-trained urology residents and fellows is competitive, but we offer a compelling opportunity to partner with a well-established, independent urology practice.

The Urology Group is a group of almost 40 urologists and other specialists who deliver integrated urological care in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky/Eastern Indiana metropolitan region. We are a leading large urology practice, established in 1996, with robust integrated clinical and business operations. We provide most of the urologic care to the 2 million residents of the greater Cincinnati metropolitan region.

Our group has highly developed facilities including regional offices which complement a state-of-the-art central flagship facility.

Our central facility includes a large ASC (5 full hospital quality Siemen's equipped cystoscopy suites, two open OR's, and a fixed lithotripsy unit), radiology services including bone density, body ultrasound and CT, a physician led accredited clinical research department, a pathology department with a full time on site urological pathologist who supervises clinical and anatomic pathology services, a radiation oncology department which offers brachytherapy, IMRT, and stereotactic body radiosurgery, as well as other services.

We are looking for well-trained urologists with a collaborative, clinically-innovative, and entrepreneurial spirit to join our independent practice. We have a recent track record of hiring talented graduates – 15 physicians in the last 11 years – who have excelled in managing busy practices while developing their own particular subspecialty interests over time. We are confident that we will continue to offer a compelling practice environment for future graduates.

On-site Laboratory

Our nationally accredited lab at the Norwood Campus holds several significant distinctions. It processes blood tests, microbial cultures, DNA testing and anatomic pathology–as well as more than 2,000 prostate biopsies annually, the most in the region.

In the fall of 2014, the lab became one of the few in the nation to begin testing for specific biomarkers in prostate tissue that help guide a man’s treatment decision based on his genetic makeup. We are also advancing urology research in the following areas:

• Molecular microbiology: The Urology Group is a pioneer in the Greater Cincinnati region for using molecular microbiology to study urine cultures. Geared toward patients with chronic, recurring urine infections, and for whom previous antibiotics have not been affected, The Urology Group’s laboratory team looks at the genetic make-up of a patient’s urine sample. Studying the sample’s DNA, pathologists can help the physician determine the best treatment protocol for each specific patient.
• Genomic testing:Genomic testing, or personalized medicine, allows The Urology Group to identify if a patient who has been diagnosed with cancer is at low risk or high risk for developing a more aggressive form of cancer, based on the patient’s genetic make-up. Low risk patients typically undergo “active surveillance,” whereby they get tested regularly but receive no treatment for their cancer diagnosis. However, if genomic testing places the patient in the high-risk category, a physician may choose to treat the cancer or take a more aggressive form of surveillance. While genomic testing has helped breast cancer patients for nearly two decades, it’s now an important tool for monitoring prostate cancer patients as well.
• Genetic testing: The BRCA gene test is a blood test that uses a patient’s DNA to identify how susceptible their genes are to develop to breast cancer. Long used among women, the BRCA test can also signal prostate cancer. If a man tests positive for the BRCA gene, his lifetime risk for prostate cancer is 15-25%, and he’s at risk for developing a more aggressive/life-threatening cancer at a younger age. The Urology Group uses this test to determine whether or not genetic mutations might be passed on to family members.

With the lab onsite, results get processed quickly, so patients and their families spend less time waiting anxiously for news. Faster turnarounds also mean an earlier start for evaluating patient treatment options and determining the best course of action.

Our patient-centered cutting-edge services are delivered by clinical thought leaders in advanced prostate cancer, robotic surgery, and other subspecialties.

We believe in the power of technology and constantly monitor and evaluates the latest cutting edge developments in healthcare. The Urology Group invests significantly in equipment and resources in order to offer the highest quality care that optimizes the patient experience and results.
