关于

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.
Shared educational purpose.

Clinical focus

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

课程

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.

Endourology II

Retrograde pyelography, guidewire techniques, ureteroscopy, and stent placement.

Endourology III

Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and advanced endoscopic procedures

Senior residents work with substantial graduated autonomy, with supervision tailored to patient acuity and procedural complexity. Elective sites and assignments require Program Director and Graduate Medical Education approval.

4 assignments · 3 months each

Four three-month assignments: six months at Stroger followed by six months at Christ Medical Center. Chief responsibilities combine complex surgery, service coordination, supervision, and teaching.
