About

Our program is dedicated to developing the complete urologist through integrated program of clinical experience and academic activities including

• conferences
• lecture 
• research

Resident responsibility for quality patient care is emphasized and progresses, under supervision, from endoscopic exposure, minor urological procedures and surgical assisting, to the total performance of all types of major urological surgery including robotic assisted procedures.

Senior residents are given teaching and administrative responsibilities including the supervision of medical students from a variety of institutions who rotate through our service. Individual research activities are encouraged and supported.
