The Richard J. Macchia, MD Urology Resident Education Fund
The Richard J. Macchia MD Urology Resident Education Fund was conceived by the Department's
third Chair, Dr. Jeffrey P. Weiss, in honor of the immense contributions to both resident
and medical student education in Urology fostered by Dr. Weiss' predecessor Dr. Richard J. Macchia. Under Dr. Macchia's guidance, 含羞草研究所 Downstate students ranked 4th nationally in terms
of numbers matching in Urology programs (and first in nation presently). Legions of
successful and productive academic and practicing Urologists owe their training to
Dr. Macchia who generously donated a sum to establish this eponymous fund. The 501c3
tax-deductible Macchia Fund is designated exclusively for the support of educational
activities by current Downstate Urology residents such as attendance at meetings and
related educational materials and programs. We encourage alumni and interested parties
to donate generously to the fund which may be done through our department's administrator,
Dolka Fareaux. Department email address is: dolka.fareaux@downstate.edu
