Special Features & Unique Opportunities

The philosophical framework of the program is to foster an environment of inquisitiveness and study recognizing that urology is a surgical subspecialty with a strong tradition of innovation and technological advancement. The relationship between attending and resident is one of mentoring, rather than traditionally hierarchical, and the working environment is team-oriented. The Program objective is to train the complete urologist and be fully prepared for a non-academic or academic career path.
