The future of Urology begins at The Ohio State University
The Urology training program at The Ohio State University is a formative and rewarding experience created on the foundation of learning through patient care. Residents train under a faculty that includes both general urologists and subspecialists in every field within Urology. Residents take an active role in caring for patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings under the leadership of nationally recognized faculty. Through an innovative curriculum based on close mentorship and designed to facilitate resident growth and development, The Ohio State University aims to prepare graduates for prominent clinical and research fellowships of their choice throughout the United States and to position them as future leaders in Urology.
