Acerca de

Our mission is to develop physicians who are empathetic and competent in their care of urologic patients by acquisition of medical knowledge, surgical skills primarily through didactics, direct patient experience, and compassionate supervision in a five year urban training program.

In alignment with our hospital mission, we immerse the residents in the care of a diverse underserved patient population and focus on high-quality care/reduction of urologic disease disparities.

Ultimately, the program aspires to produce autonomous and competent surgeons who are life-long learners who will excel in an academic or clinical setting and be leaders as well as models of professionalism in the field of urology.

Experience across adult and pediatric care, from clinic and consultation to open, endoscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery.
Faculty supervision and feedback guide increasing operative responsibility, teaching, and leadership throughout training.
Patient continuity, shared decisions, and attention to health disparities shape the way residents learn to practice.

Where you Train:

Complementary settings.

Horario Clínico

Five months of urology and seven months of complementary surgical training establish skills in perioperative care, consultation, and basic procedures.

Core rotations

Urology, general surgery, pediatric surgery, plastic surgery, interventional radiology, surgical ICU, and trauma surgery.

Clinical focus

Inpatient care, surgical fundamentals, supervised urology call, and the start of scholarly activity.

Plan de estudios

The approved curriculum pairs progressive operative responsibility with clinical training across Cook County and Advocate Health Care.

Reading the schedule

PGY–1, PGY–3, and PGY–4 each have 12 one-month blocks. PGY–2 has six two-month blocks. PGY–5 has four three-month assignments covering blocks 1–12. Block numbers show the standard sequence, not named calendar months or an individual resident’s live assignment.

Site 1 · Stroger: Hospital John H. Stroger, Jr. del Condado de Cook

Site 2 · Christ: Christ Medical Center, Advocate Health Care

Publicaciones

Cook County Health

Prepared for Cook County Health Communications
Verified September 22, 2026

This bibliography contains 158 PubMed-indexed records published from 1987 through 2026 with a verified Cook County urology connection. Publications are organized by year, most recent first, with links to the PubMed record and DOI when available.

Scope

Inclusion required an explicit Cook County urology affiliation or a Cook County institutional affiliation linked to a corroborated division author. The review covered 448 candidate records. Letters, editorials, commentary and corrections are identified. This is a curated bibliography rather than an exhaustive institutional archive; older affiliation indexing and non-indexed publications may leave gaps. Citations show up to six authors; linked PubMed records provide complete author lists.
