University of South Florida Morsani Program

Program Identity & Fit

USF Morsani's urology residency is a five-year, three-resident-per-year academic program built around five distinct clinical sites - Tampa General Hospital, James A. Haley VA, Moffitt Cancer Center, AdventHealth Tampa, and Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital - giving residents dedicated exposure to complex adult genitourinary disease, uro-oncology, VA-based reconstructive and general urology, high-volume robotic surgery, and a discrete pediatric urology block. A structured six-month clinical research rotation is embedded during the VA-based PGY-3 year, and the department runs its own Sexual Medicine Fellowship (with an Endourology Fellowship in development), signaling an academic, subspecialty-oriented culture that trains residents alongside fellows in andrology, prosthetics, and reconstruction. Simulation training is centralized at the CAMLS center, and faculty include a dedicated uro-oncology chief at Moffitt, indicating investment in high-acuity, procedurally dense training over general community coverage. The program's structure - multi-site rotation, embedded research block, in-house fellowships - suggests it values residents oriented toward subspecialization and academic surgical careers rather than early community practice.
