University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

UNMC's urology residency is a small academic program (two residents per year) built on a five-year structure combining a general/urologic surgery intern year with four years of comprehensive urologic training across four distinct clinical sites - Nebraska Medicine, Omaha VA, Children's Nebraska, and Methodist Hospital - giving residents exposure to adult, pediatric, oncologic, transplant, and VA-based urologic populations. The curriculum is broad-based, covering the full scope of subspecialty urology (endourology, andrology, female urology, neurourology, oncology, transplant, pediatrics) through structured conferences and multidisciplinary tumor boards, reflecting a comprehensive-generalist rather than narrowly subspecialized identity. Research is explicitly built into resident development, with the program stating that prior research experience and publications "greatly enhance" an application, signaling that scholarly output is a differentiating factor for selection rather than a mere afterthought. As part of a large, research-intensive academic medical center serving Nebraska and the surrounding region, the program appears to value candidates who combine strong clinical/academic performance with demonstrated research productivity and genuine interest in serving the state's urologic care needs.
