Is the demand for female due to continuously increasing patient load or just not enough FPMRS? I would think its the former since FPMRS is shared between OB/Gyn and Urology.
I read in an older thread that FPMRS doesn't increase the salary of Urologist significantly, so Residency + 2 or 3yrs for FPMRS isn't very appealing to a lot of people.
You’d be surprised. Finding the midtown Manhattan job might be tough (or pay very poorly). Finding a job an hour outside the city is pretty easy, especially for a generalist. I didn’t look in the market personally but know a few that didn’t have much trouble landing jobs in the area. I can’t tell you how many recruiting emails I get about that job 1 hour from city X with 4 unused robots and 800k earning potential. Sure some of these are BS, but clearly the demand is there.
Can someone comment on saturation and job prospect for male infertility <1hr or so around major NE cities? Is it the same fellowship as the IPP folks or it's somewhat different?
Thanks for the info! How good is compensation for infertility + IPPs? I would imagine a good amount of the procedures are elective and generate good cash flow? Let's say a pp folk 1 hr out of city like DC or Philly, does infertility + IPP with some general uroIf you are willing to do some general urology also, you shouldn't have a problem finding a gig. Most practices would be glad to get someone with the impotence skill set. Just be prepared that you are going to be doing a lot of hormonal work and impotence work and not a lot of infertility pretty much wherever you go.
The issue is that while male factor infertility is not that rare, most of them will not require urological or surgical intervention. Still possible to build a fun surgical practice doing vasectomies, vasovasostomies, implants, etc along with some general.
Fellowship is Impotence and Infertility together.

IPP reimbursement is fairly good. It is usually paid by insurance, not a cash-only procedure. Good money for doing vasovasostomy and any infertility procedures which are generally cash payment. In most cases I don't think the income potential is much different than that of any other type of urologist. Exception would be if you build a big infertility practice in PP -- but again, unlikely that this is possible for most.
Can someone comment about the job market for PP in the CA bay area? I'd like to head back there someday after residency.
