About the Program
The Scott Department of Urology at Baylor College of Medicine offers a three-month preceptorship training for graduate Advanced Practice Providers (APP’s) in men’s health, sexual medicine, and urology. This hybrid program comprised of both clinical and didactic components will provide APP’s with a remarkable opportunity to gain competence in providing care for patients with hypogonadism, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, orgasmic dysfunction, infertility, and associated urological conditions.

At the completion of the program, preceptors will be proficient in performing outpatient procedures including:
- Collagenase Clostridium injection for Peyronie’s Disease
