University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry

Program Outline—Fourth Year (PGY-5)

The fourth year (PYG-5) urologic resident has rotations at two affiliated teaching institutions: Rochester General Hospital (RGH) and Park Ridge Hospital (PRH). At RGH, the resident assists the chief resident (PGY-6) in managing an inpateint service averaging 10-20 patients daily and more than 600 major operations annually. The resident gains substantial experience in performing endoscopic procedures during this rotation. Outpatients are seen once a week.

Three two-month rotations on the urologic service at Park Ridge Hospital are provided to increase clinical exposure and broaden experiences. The resident at Park Ridge Hospital is responsible for following the activities of the entire urology service and is involved in all major operations. The PGY-5 resident also participates in a urology outpatient clinic in a private office setting.
