Our home at The Mount Sinai Hospital and affiliated institutions offer an immersive experience in three distinct health care delivery models: the tertiary care academic medical center, the community hospital, and the municipal hospital system. In addition to hands-on training during clinical rotations, residents also gain extensive experience in our state-of-the-art facilities.

Icahn Mount Sinai offers two state-of-the-art da Vinci XI robotics simulation training centers where residents can partake in independent individual practice sessions. Residents also spend significant time in dry and wet labs under the supervision of experts in medical device manufacturing. Labs in endourology, reconstructive surgery, and voiding dysfunction allow residents to explore and build upon techniques learned in the operating room. Our graduates finish the program with an enviable understanding of the options that are open to them and are prepared to pursue the urology careers of their choosing.

Clinical Rotations

• General Urology: General urology rotations provide exposure to the broadest possible sample of patients and urological conditions. Residents begin with three rotations at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai West, Mount Sinai Morningside, and Elmhurst Hospital Center in the first year of training and recur in the fifth year of training when the trainee gets experience managing the general urology service at each hospital.
• Endourology and Robotics: Residents access the greatest volume of stone disease cases and the broadest variety of procedural techniques at the Kidney Stone Center at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West. Rotations at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West occur each year of the program and allow residents to take maximum advantage of this concentration of expertise and opportunity.
• Pediatric Urology: Residents complete two focused rotations in pediatric urology, in their first and third years of training, at The Mount Sinai Hospital. Residents see patients in the Pediatric Clinic, Mount Sinai Doctors outpatient locations, Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai, and Elmhurst Hospital Center.
• Female Urology and Urodynamics: In the third year of training, residents will be assigned to female urology procedures to gain experience in the performance and interpretation of urodynamic studies and conduct urology rounds on the rehabilitation service.
• Genomics: Two rotations, one in year three and year four, will take the resident into the related specialties of medical oncology and pathology while providing the opportunity to deepen their understanding of research design and the cutting-edge applications of genomics. In these rotations, residents shadow attending physicians as they treat or consult on urology patients, get tutored on statistics and the design of demographic studies or genomics, and take call.
• Electives: Residents choose among a variety of outpatient electives. Faculty with the relevant expertise supervise the residents in andrology, female urology, neuro-urology, oncology, assisted reproduction, or uro-radiological imaging. Residents work exclusively with select faculty members and take call.
