Comments
The department of Urology at
The department of Urology at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak will be transitioning its residency program from six years to five years, starting with the 2012-2013 academic term on July 1. The residents will still see the same quality four-year urology training, according to Jay Hollander, M.D., Urology residency program director who added that the pre-urology surgical training would be tailored to a one-year exposure. “Nationally, most programs have trended towards a five-year program,” noted Dr. Hollander. “The cost of medical education has skyrocketed, and we hope this will be viewed as a favorable aspect to our program without significantly compromising the educational component.”Please visit the Programs website for further information: Urology - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-residency Program Faculty - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-program-facultyCurriculum - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-curriculumDidactics- http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-didacticsGoals & Objectives - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-goals-objectivesOutcomes - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-outcomesResearch - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-researchBeaumont Urology News - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-patient-populationEvents - http://meded.beaumont.edu/node/641Application - http://meded.beaumont.edu/urology-application
