Special Features & Unique Opportunities

The RUSH Urology Residency Program is a five-year training program that provides residents with a wide range of experience in all aspects of urologic diagnoses and therapies. Our focus is to train residents who, upon completion, are well-prepared to practice, to seek certification by the American Board of Urology, and to pursue sub-specialization if they choose. - We are proud to have expanded our program, now recruiting three residents each year (which began Academic Year 2022-2023).
