The Urology Residency program is designed to provide a graded and progressive level of
cognitive and technical skills for the resident to achieve a well-rounded experience in
all of the domains of urology.
PGY-1
The residents are expected to acquire basic skills in-patient
care, including pre-operative and post-operative evaluation and management. Basic surgical
principles and skills should be learned as well.
PGY-2
This year focuses on out-patient urology (six months total). The
resident is expected to begin to develop a broad base of knowledge of urologic
anatomy, physiology, and pathology. He/she is also expected to learn the basic diagnostic
procedures performed by urologists. The remaining 6 months will be spent as the junior
resident at the VA (three months) and on the UK adult urology service (three months).
The hospital rotation will provide the opportunity for residents to improve their
patient care skills and begin learning open, endoscopic, and laparoscopic urologic
procedures. During this year, the resident should develop areas of interest for
scholarly activity during the remainder of the training program.
PGY-3
This year focuses on refinement of basic diagnostic and surgical skills
as well as expanding each resident's cognitive abilities. Each resident serves as junior
resident at the VA and UK adult urology services. During the Pediatric Urology
rotation, the resident is expected to learn diseases and procedures that are specific to
this area of subspecialty, including out-patient and in-patient activities.
The resident rotates VA (three months), Cincinnati Children's Medical Center (three months) UK (three months) and back to Cincinnati Children's
Medical Center (three months).
PGY- 4
During this year, the resident will receive broad exposure to more
attending urologists and gain greater proficiency in complex diagnostic and surgical
procedures. Areas such as lithotripsy, endourology and laparoscopy will be emphasized. A
wide experience in major open operative cases will also be expected.
PGY-5
The Chief Resident at each hospital, UK and VA, will be responsible for the
administrative aspects of the daily coordination of in-patient and out-patient care by the
resident staff as well as coordinating conference schedules. This will be done under the
supervision of the Program Director and the faculty.
Each Chief Resident will gain extensive experience in the more complex
procedures as well as broadening their overall knowledge base.
