Others have joined the faculty of various medical schools. Seven former residents direct urology training programs at major universities across the country. After completed application packets have been reviewed, qualified applicants are invited for an interview in the Fall. Our program participates in the NRMP and American Urological Association matches. The UCLA Department of Urology interviews applicants on scheduled interview dates only.
Interviews are by invitation only.
The purpose of the interview is to allow the applicant to become acquainted with the Residency Program in order to make an appropriate decision and to facilitate the choice of residents by the UCLA faculty. The interview is intended to be a relaxed experience with ample time to meet the faculty and tour the facilities. Applicants will have the opportunity to discuss the training program with junior and senior residents. A formal presentation of the philosophy and objectives of the training program will be outlined for the applicants and individual interviews will be scheduled with the full-time faculty. Three residents are chosen each year to begin the General Surgery R1 year and to begin the Urology Residency Program beginning two years later.
