        Urology residents become part of the hospital’s storied history, completing a significant portion of their training in the ORs, procedure clinics, outpatient clinics, and inpatient wards here.  Trainees are responsible for autonomously running the urologic service at this site: seeing patients in clinic, preparing them for surgery, performing procedures and surgeries, and managing their patients post-operatively. Here, our urologists provide safety-net healthcare to underserved New Yorkers and experience the diversity of the patient population.
