The Department of Urology looks for a team player who will fulfill their potential both clinically and academically during the program.
A rotation only dedicated to research is not possible in a five-year program. However, there are two three-month flex rotations in the third and fourth years. This time is used for research, covering other residents on vacation and other elective work, including training in andrology.
It allows for greater flexibility with rotations by the addition of new experiences in the surgery centers, infertility, and general urology.
In house call is only for residents in the University Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children rotations. The on call resident does not work the day after call. Residents in the Methodist, VA Hospital and Eskenazi Hospital rotations take home call.
In addition to the generous benefits available to all residents and fellows at IU School of Medicine through the Office of Graduate Medical Education, Department of Urology residents enjoy an educational stipend ($1,500-$2,750 depending on year) to help pay for books and other educational items, conference travel and so forth. Urology residents get four weeks of vacation each year as well as parking passes and on-call meal tickets. They also receive paid medical and dental insurance through the GME office.
