Why our program could be right for you

The Montefiore Einstein Urology Residency Program offers its residents early operative experience, diverse research opportunities and broad exposure to a range of urologic conditions. Residents also have access to strong mentorship, and benefit from a positive culture that advocates doing what’s best for our patients, residents, faculty and staff. 

Our faculty are enthusiastic about teaching, and continue to develop more interactive and engaging ways to teach our residents. Within the program, residents play a key role in caring for our patients and are important members of every care team. In this supportive environment, our residents become a close-knit group, training side-by-side in our facilities and exploring New York City in their free time.
