Mass General Brigham-Brigham and Women's Hospital-Harvard Medical School Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a flagship academic urology program anchored at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital and top-10 US News-ranked urology department, situated within one of the largest hospital-based research enterprises in the country. The training environment is quaternary and referral-based, drawing complex urologic cases from across New England and internationally, with residents embedded in an institution that is the third-largest independent recipient of NIH funding nationally and supports over 1,000 principal investigators. The scale of Mass General Brigham's research infrastructure and BWH's reputation as a subspecialty referral center indicate that academic productivity, exposure to complex/tertiary pathology, and eventual subspecialization are central to the program's design rather than incidental features. The environment is built for residents oriented toward academic urology careers, subspecialty fellowship training, and scholarly output rather than general community urologic practice.
