Residency Program Directory

Welcome to the University of Wisconsin Urology Residency Program! The UW Department of Urology is a nationally recognized program committed to providing the highest caliber of patient care and education. One of our greatest missions is to train the next generation of urologists. As part of the University of Wisconsin Urology family, you are part of a legacy of great tradition, pride and excellence.

One of our greatest assets is a long line of fantastic residents that are committed to providing the best possible patient care with a personal drive to achieve excellence in clinical skills and scholarly activity. A strong work ethic and commitment to the program help us to achieve greater levels of accomplishment each year. Our program is founded by a diverse faculty with commitment to education. Each faculty member has achieved national levels of recognition within their field of expertise. All facets of Urology are covered with areas of excellence in Pediatric Urology, Endourology, Urologic Oncology, Female Urology, Neurourology, Infertility and Sexual Dysfunction. The faculty is on the forefront of minimally invasive approaches to surgical management, including laparoscopy and robotic surgery, laser technologies in the management of BPH and stone disease, and alternative therapies to the ablation of small tumors such as radio frequency ablation and cryotherapy.

The University of Wisconsin is a leader in the newest fiber-optic equipment in Endourology. This offers the resident a strong clinical exposure and skill set in the fundamentals of urologic management along with new technologies and innovations. Hopefully our residents are inspired to further advance the forefront of Urology, both in their clinical practice and scholarly activities.

After graduation, our residents choose careers in private practice as well as fellowships in sub-specialties of Urology. Our training program is diversified by multiple healthcare systems that include both a nationally recognized academic medical center at UW Hospital & Clinics and American Family Children's Hospital along with excellent training in a private practice system at St. Mary's Hospital and Meriter Hospital. Diversity and autonomy is further achieved with training at the William S. Middleton VA Hospital.

As you read this manual, I hope you get a feel for the strong commitment to excellence in residency education. Our goal is to provide an excellent learning environment through strong clinical and operative experience, a comprehensive didactic teaching program and resident involvement in research and new surgical techniques. It is with great anticipation that we welcome our new incoming residents. It is with a great sense of accomplishment that we congratulate our graduating residents who have contributed so greatly to the success and progress of our program. Let's all pull together to make this another exciting year!

Sincerely,
