Our five-year residency program in urology offers intensive clinical training with advanced academic orientation. Our program gives residents an opportunity to become skilled clinicians and to develop the background for an academic career if they choose. In either case, our goal is to train physicians who can provide leadership in a challenging specialty in an ever-changing practice environment.
At Tulane Urology, our faculty, who are very involved in basic and clinical research, are recognized as experts in basic urology and in all recognized areas of subspecialization within urology. Therefore, our residency program not only offers an exceptional education for residents but also prepares residents for the challenges ahead.
Specifically, residents will receive advanced training in numerous hospitals and clinics including Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, Children's Hospital, University Medical Center New Orleans, Tulane University Lakeside, West Jefferson Medical Center, Touro, and Southeast Louisiana Veterans Healthcare System. Visit our Facilities page for more information.
Approximately, 25 percent of the applicants are invited for an interview, and no applicant is accepted without a personal interview. Our current RRC-ACGME full accreditation allows for three resident selections per year. We participate in the American Urological Association (AUA) Residency Matching Program.
We look forward to hearing from you.
