Urology residency at Tulane is a fully accredited four-year program designed to provide an intensive academic and clinical experience.

Programs

- The first year of the residency program covers basic clinical urology.
- The second year has a possible part-time block dedicated to research.

- The third year focuses on advanced clinical urology.

- The fourth year is spent as a chief resident.

Teaching rounds - emphasis on direct involvement and the wide variety of cases encountered in this major urban healthcare center produce a training regimen that is as rewarding as it is demanding.

The residency program includes a basic sciences course at the University of Virginia during the first year and an ongoing basic science review at Tulane conducted by members of the basic sciences departments.

Senior residents attend at least one major American Urological Association (AUA) seminar. The program also includes the annual Specialty Review in Urology course in Chicago for chief residents.

Qualifications

Resident applicants are chosen based upon criteria established by the American Board of Urology.

Tulane Urology Residency Program requires that the student graduate from an accredited Medical School, followed by completion of one year of general surgical training.

Goals and Objectives

- To provide adequate supervision of the residents during their entire training process. With the rapid proliferation of technological innovations within urology, such supervision is critical to the growth of the residents.

- To provide a milieu that encourages both basic and clinical research. This enhances the academic process and productivity of the faculty and residents.

- To provide state-of-the-art technology for patient management. This directly results in increased patient referrals, which directly benefits our teaching and clinical research programs.
