Under the leadership of Muhammad Choudhury, M.D., Professor and Chairman and his dedicated faculty, the Department of Urology's program is continually evolving and strengthening to keep abreast of the rapidly expanding body of medical knowledge and technology in the field. The department's residency training program is a highly competitive and diversified clinical experience. Residents experience a varied patient mix representing urban, suburban and rural communities as well as differing ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. This diverse clinical exposure prepares residents for the range of patient care needs they may encounter during their future years in medical practice.
