Stony Brook's Urology Residency is a six-year postgraduate training program
of which the first two years are spent in the General Surgery residency program
at Stony Brook, followed by four years in the urology residency program. The general
emphasis of the program is to provide residents with an educational experience that
will prepare them for a productive and satisfying career in urology. Since the
career goals of individual residents may differ, it is the goal of our residency
training to provide a broad base of surgical education from which a career as a
community practitioner, researcher, or academician can be equally well pursued.
The program likewise ensures that those residents completing the program will
meet the standards of professional excellence adopted by the American Board of
Urology, and will be fully eligible for board certification. The urology
residency encompasses training at both University Medical Center and the Northport VAMC.
There is currently one urology resident per year in the urology residency program
at Stony Brook. The first two years of the urology residency are spent as part of
the General Surgery residency program. During this period, the resident is exposed
to general (gastrointestinal) surgery, vascular surgery, trauma, oncology, ICU, burn,
plastic and cardiac surgery.
