Westchester Medical Center Program

The Urology Residency Training Program at Westchester Medical Center is a structured five-year postgraduate curriculum designed to produce high-caliber practitioners committed to professionalism and excellence in urologic care. The program accepts two residents annually through the American Urological Association (AUA) match.

Residents can expect to participate in safe, compassionate patient care, engage in educational activities, fulfill ABU training requirements, and demonstrate specific urology knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The curriculum is designed with rotations at Westchester Medical Center, Metropolitan Hospital Center, and Lincoln Medical Center, providing a diverse learning experience.

The program is fully accredited by the ACGME, and residents are encouraged to engage in research and attend national meetings. The curriculum also includes didactic experiences, opportunities for publication, and participation in institutional programs.

Upon graduation, residents have a strong record of board certification, additional fellowship training, and successful careers in various states. The faculty consists of experienced urologists dedicated to teaching and mentoring residents throughout their training.

The application process involves submitting the AMC-ERAS application, USMLE certifications, letters of recommendation, personal statement, and transcripts. Strong motivation for urology, personality traits like communication skills, and research experience are considered important for applicants.

The program's website provides detailed information on the curriculum, faculty, program outcomes, current residents, alumni, and faculty. Applicants can also find resources such as the AUA Residency Website and contact information for program coordinators and faculty members.
