Welcoming Our Newest Residents

We are thrilled to introduce the newest members of our urology residency program at the University of Minnesota Medical School. These talented individuals bring with them a wealth of enthusiasm, curiosity, and dedication to the field of urology. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome as they begin this exciting new chapter of their medical careers!

David Fenton, MD

Dr. Fenton is originally from Salt Lake City, Utah. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah and graduated from the University of Chicago Division of the Biological Sciences The Pritzker School of Medicine. While attending medical school, he took part in several research projects, including one that compared the effectiveness in using prostate health index (PHI) and prostate serum antigen density (PSAD) as tertiary screening tools to prevent unnecessary biopsies in Black men. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Fenton is a classical pianist, amateur chef, and enjoys working out.

Stephen Kisty, MD

Dr. Kisty is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. A meaningful study that he helped facilitate was called, "Private Equity Favors Urology Practice in Affluent and Less Diverse Neighborhoods." His responsibilities included compiling a dataset of private equity-backed urology clinics, obtaining population-level data from the US Census Bureau, performing statistical analysis, and creating a poster to visualize this information. In his free time, Dr. Kisty enjoys playing with his cat, bouldering, sewing, and listening to audiobooks.

Rana Suliman, MD

Dr. Suliman is a first-generation Sudanese-American originally from Springfield, Virginia. They completed their undergraduate degree in Cell & Molecular Biology with Honors at Brown University for their research on immunotherapeutic disruption of Notch3 signaling pathways as a means of focally targeting ovarian cancer stem cells and graduated Cum-Laude from Harvard Medical School for their thesis work on the historical, ethical, and politico-legal considerations of pediatric intersex surgery. Although Dr. Suliman has been involved in several research projects, one of their most meaningful projects was developing a novel bone morphogenesis protein (BMP)-response element luciferase reporter cell-based assay to screen 5,000+ compounds from a repurposed drug library to identify four drug mimetics of Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) that can be used for contraception or other applications in women’s health. In their spare time, they enjoy tending to their indoor garden, playing with their three cats, rock-hounding, writing poetry, and acrylic painting.
