Dr. Noah S. Schenkman, born in Passaic, NJ, in 1958, is the current Residency Program Director and Associate Professor of Urology at the Department of Urology at the School of Medicine of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. He is the former Chief of Urology Service at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He is also the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions, most notably the US Army Legion of Merit. Some of his other accolades include the Surgeon General’s “A” Proficiency Designator, the 2009 UVa Dean’s Award for Clinical Excellence, and his 2009 induction into the UVa School of Medicine’s Academy of Distinguished Educators. [1]

Education/ US Military Career Highlights

Dr. Schenkman received his medical degree in 1984 from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, and followed in 1985 with a Surgical Internship at Mt. Sinai. He furthered his medical education by finishing his Urology Fellowship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 1995; he then completed a specialty fellowship in Endourology at University of California San Francisco in 1998. [2]

In 1999, Dr. Schenkman was assigned as Assistant Chief of Urology Service at Water Reed Army Medical Center, one of the world’s largest military urologic centers. He served in this capacity until 2004, when he was promoted to Chief of Urology Service, a position he held until his retirement from the military in 2006, at the rank of Colonel. [3]

Dr. Schenkman served many educational roles as instructor and professor during the final 12 years of his military career as a urologist. This educational service culminated in his being a Clinical Associate Professor in Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, MD. USUHS is the US military medical school, representing all branches of service.

During his time at Walter Reed, Dr. Schenkman served in several research initiatives ranging from clinical trials to robotic surgery. He was the Walter Reed co-author in the multicenter, NIH-sponsored clinical trial for BPH, called MTOPS (Medical Treatment of Prostate Symptoms). In addition, he was the primary investigator for the Telemedicine and Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery Center (TAMIS), which pioneered the first transcontinental telesurgery using the daVinci surgical robot.

University of Virginia

Dr. Schenkman’s role as a surgeon and educator in the field or Urology continued in 2006 with his appointment as Associate Professor, Dept. of Urology, at the School of Medicine of the University of Virginia. In 2013, he was also appointed as the Director of the Residency Program in the department, where he oversees the education for a staff of eight doctors undergoing their four-year Urology Residency. [4] [5]

As a practitioner and surgeon in Urology at UVa, Dr. Schenkman primarily specializes in diagnosing and treating kidney stones, and in dealing with the various cancers that afflict the genito-urinary system. He specializes in minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat benign and malignant urologic disorders. A notable example is his use of advanced microwave equipment to perform image-guided thermal ablation, a procedure that allows him to treat urologic tumors with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
