Diversity and Inclusion

The Department of Urology is committed to providing the finest urologic training available and producing urologists with expertise in all aspects of medical and surgical care. The department is committed to a training environment inclusive of all cultures, languages, socioeconomic backgrounds, racial and ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, religions, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, medical training (osteopathic and allopathic) and other areas in a manner that promotes diversity in future urologic leaders.

Scholarship Opportunities

• The department offers two scholarships for visiting students from underrepresented backgrounds in medicine (Black, African American, LatinX, and Hispanic).
• The American Bladder Cancer Society Medical Student Scholarship provides an annual stipend of $3000 to underrepresented minority students who do visiting rotations in urology.
• The department also offers financial assistance (a grant of $2500) to help cover the significant expense of doing an away rotation.

Program Environment

The department provides mentorship and support to residents, as well as opportunities to work with diverse patient populations. Training and education surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion, and healthcare disparities are being developed to promote these values within the department.
