Yale Urology has a longstanding legacy of education, helping to train, attract, and showcase many of the leading surgeons and scientists in our field. Join us this fall November 6–8, 2026, as we continue that tradition of innovation and collaboration at our 4th Annual Yale Urology Bulldog Debates, held at the Yale Club of New York City.
This two-day, CME-accredited symposium is designed for urology clinicians or those interested in exploring advanced issues in the field through a dynamic debate-based format. Yale affiliation is not required. Sessions will focus on innovative topics in:
- clinical urology, including HoLEP surgery
- urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery
- urologic oncology
- sexual and reproductive medicine, with particular attention to emerging conversations surrounding testosterone therapy and GLP-1 medications
Presenters will include both Yale School of Medicine Department of Urology faculty, and distinguished guest faculty:
- Dong Hyeon Lee, MD - Ewha Womans University College of Medicine/Urology Institute, Seoul, Korea
- Nicole Miller, MD - Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
- Victor Nitti, MD - David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
The program will also feature our second annual live surgery and panel discussion. This year, Yale urologist Daniel Kellner, MD, will demonstrate HoLEP, a procedure largely used to alleviate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
