The Urology Residency at Brown University is a five-year program highlighted by several unique features. With 3 applicants accepted per year and 21 highly active clinical faculty, residents not only enjoy a tight-knit, supportive community, but also exceptional surgical case volume.

The diverse and balanced faculty creates ample opportunity for General Urology and Minimally Invasive procedures, as well as unique exposure to advanced reconstructive and microsurgical techniques.  Teaching of robotics relies on multiple DaVinci systems with teaching consoles, and a robotics simulation lab and curriculum. There is a wide range of open, laparoscopic/robotic, and endoscopic surgical exposure across general urology and subspecialty areas.   

Another highlight is the outpatient experience. There is a dedicated outpatient rotation that allows residents to participate in diverse multidisciplinary clinics related to Stone Disease, Urologic Oncology, and Men's and Women's Health.  Residents can also tailor the rotation to their particular interests, and have the opportunity for greater activity in research and quality improvement projects.  Independent clinical assessment and management skills are honed through the Rhode Island Hospital Urology Clinic as well as the VA Hospital, where residents are afforded significant autonomy.

Finally, the enthusiasm of our faculty for teaching is evident not only in the clinical setting but also in the classroom. This passion has yielded a richly diverse didactic teaching schedule that features conferences in Pediatric Urology, Urologic Pathology, Radiology, and Oncology, among other areas.
