Jonathan Wingate, M.D., Clinical Assistant Professor, Urology

I am a trauma and reconstructive urologist and active duty Army Officer. Simulation has long been embraced by the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army as a means to train soldiers and medics in the care of our wounded warriors. This fellowship has prepared me for an academic and military career because at its core, it is a fellowship in education and teaching. It has exposed me to every aspect of simulation training, from concept to design to end-user implementation and feedback. During my time in fellowship, I am also pursuing a certificate course in Healthcare Simulation through the Naval Postgraduate School.

I plan to use my fellowship training to help train urology residents with simulation curricula. I also plan to use my training to help train and educate other specialties and Army medics by working at both the Madigan Army Medical Center’s simulation center and at the Joint Base Lewis McChord’s Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC). 

My goals for the fellowship year include:

-       Creation of joint curriculum for orthopedic and urologic injuries seen in pelvic fracture patients

-       Creation of renal trauma renorrhaphy curriculum using a porcine model

-       Assisting in the development of the Department of Defense Laparotomy project

-       Assisting in the validation of a urethral catheter force measuring device
