Geisinger Health System Program

The Geisinger Health System Urology Residency program is designed to provide a personalized training experience for only two residents accepted each year. The program aims to train compassionate surgeons capable of delivering urologic care in a diverse healthcare environment. Their faculty, with expertise in oncology, minimally invasive surgery, endourology, genitourinary reconstruction, and pediatrics, offers one-on-one mentoring opportunities due to the intentionally small program size.

Graduates of the Geisinger Urology Residency program have a track record of success, consistently performing procedures at a high level and achieving a 100% board passage rate. They also have a strong record of matching graduates into competitive fellowship programs. Living in Danville, PA, where the flagship hospital is located, provides residents with numerous outdoor recreational activities and a low cost of living.

Application to the program requires the submission of a transcript, USMLE scores, and three letters of recommendation. The program, which falls under ACGME accreditation, accepts applications annually until early October. Open houses are typically held in mid-September and early October. The program's curriculum includes varied surgical experiences, academic conferences, and a strong emphasis on continuity of care in clinic settings.

The Geisinger Health System Urology Residency program is a five-year ACGME-accredited program that currently accepts two residents per year. Graduates of this program are well-prepared to practice urology comprehensively and are positioned to pursue further certification by the American Board of Urology.
