The Division of Urology has had substantial growth since 2009 from 7.5 faculty (5.5 MD and 2 mid-level providers) to 16 (12 MD and 4 advanced practice practitioners) in April 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The new department will aim to recruit new faculty members, expand the size of the clinical and research programs, achieve regional and national recognition and foster strengthened partnerships across campus and our region.<\/p>\n<p>This proposed change was presented to the Dean&#8217;s Advisory Committee on April 9. The proposed amendment to the School of Medicine Constitution will come to a faculty vote in May. Two-thirds of the votes must be affirmative to enact this change. If approved, the Department of Urology would become operational in FY 2014 pending approval by the Chancellor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UNC School of Medicine is considering a proposed change to it&#8217;s Constitution that will create a new Department of Urology.
