Special Features & Unique Opportunities

We pride ourselves on camaraderie amongst faculty and residents. We have faculty that are fellowship-trained in each of the urologic subspecialties and no fellows, allowing for a robust and diverse clinical experience. Our rotation schedule is based on a "mentor model." This allows for early, hands-on exposure to all subspecialties where residents gain an in-depth knowledge of their faculty's clinical and operative practice while taking care of patients pre-, intra- and post-operatively.
