Residents A residency in the Department of Urology at Ohio State is a challenging and rewarding experience that entails a complex interaction of learning through patient care. It requires maintenance of a balance between the educational and clinical responsibilities as well as dedication to learning and personal excellence. Urology residents are selected by a competitive process and are chosen through the match program administered by the American Urological Association's Office of Education. All applications are internally reviewed to selectively invite candidates for the interview process. At the conclusion of the interview process, faculty members meet to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the candidates, and the rank order is submitted to the AUA Office of Education. Candidates must be registered with the AUA Residency Match. The Department of Urology at Ohio State offers a pre-urology year prior to the urology program. During this first year, residents rotate through different surgical disciplines, with a heavy emphasis on pre- and post-operative care of inpatient surgical patients. The PGY2 year is the first full year in Urology and involves three 4-month rotations at the Ohio State University Hospital, the Arthur G James Cancer Hospital, and the Ohio State University Hospital East. The PGY3 year involves three 4-month rotations at The Ohio State University Hospital East, the Arthur G James Cancer Hospital and the Nationwide Children's Hospital. The PGY4 year involves three 4-month rotations at the Ohio State University Hospital, the Arthur G James Cancer Hospital and the consult service. During the PGY-5 year, the chief residents divide the year equally to function as the administrative chief resident. The time is spent at the Ohio State University Hospital and the Arthur G James Cancer Hospital.
