Positions Offered

Two residents are accepted each year, primarily from fourth-year medical school candidates but occasionally from surgical interns or residents from other training programs. The division participates in the American Urological Association (AUA) matching program. Selection of candidates is made on the basis of medical school transcripts, National Board scores, letters of recommendation, and a personal interview. Final ranking is by faculty consensus. Candidate applications and interviews are made in the fall of the fourth year of medical school. An interview and a visit to the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center are critical, not only to strengthen the candidate’s application, but also to allow him or her the opportunity to assess the merits of the program. Interviews are by invitation and are limited to medical school graduates in the upper half of their medical school classes who have also scored at least 220 on Part I of their National Boards.
