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.
