The Urology program consists of one year of general surgery prior to the start of the four years of clinical urology. The PGY-1 year is made available to resident candidates who match with the urology program. During the first year in general surgery, emphasis is placed upon perioperative care of surgical patients. Surgical experience is gained in a structured and supervised fashion with members of the Department of Surgery.

The four clinical years in urology are provided at the University of North Carolina Hospitals and affiliated institutions. The residents will spend the third year of clinical urology at Wake County Medical Center, Raleigh (6 months) and at the Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC (6 months). While at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, residents will be exposed to the specialty areas in urology, including pediatrics, oncology, urodynamics, urolithiasis, infertility and impotence. A didactic program is held on a weekly basis that all residents attend. These conferences consist of clinical seminars, journal club, uroradiology, uropathology, review of a major urological text and case management conference. A fellowship year of urological research is available to selected individuals.
