University of Cincinnati Medical Center-College of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a five-year university-affiliated urology program that draws its identity from exceptionally high procedural volume, particularly in minimally invasive endoscopic and female incontinence surgery, achieved through a multi-site structure spanning the VA Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati Children's, University Hospital, and a dedicated Female Urology elective at West Chester. Training is structured around 3.5 years of adult urologic surgery balanced with six months of dedicated pediatric urologic training, giving graduates a broad operative base spanning laparoscopic, robotic, pediatric, and reconstructive/female urology. The program funds resident attendance at the AUA annual meeting and supports presentation at national/sectional meetings, but its stated identity centers on surgical case volume and fellowship placement success rather than a formal research mandate. Graduates are described as consistently successful in securing fellowships and building urologic surgery careers, indicating a program oriented toward producing well-rounded clinical/surgical urologists rather than physician-scientists.
