Residency

Urology residents are selected for our program through the American Urological Association Matching Program, consistently matching our top choices. The training program covers all aspects of urologic practice. Each first-year resident is paired with a faculty member who guides the resident through his or her UCSF training. This relationship is designed to facilitate our training program’s mission: to maintain a very competitive program which trains future leaders in urology, through the use of individualized clinical rotations and a year of focused laboratory research.

Beginning with the class of 2010, UCSF is requiring that all applicants must pass USMLE step II prior to match lists being submitted. For 2009-2010 applicants, USMLE step II scores must be received by UCSF Urology no later than Jan 3, 2010. Please see the School of Medicine website for the full policy.
