Quick Welcome

[Yosh]

Just wanted to welcome everyone to this forum, I am the "new" moderator, and currently I am a transitional intern in Brooklyn, who recently matched into urology and will be moving to Chicago starting June '06 for 5 years in the corn-fed land of the midwest.
I know there are other "urology" based websites and stuff....but SDN has been helpful to me since before I was even a medical student, and 6 years later I am still active on here..

So....lets have fun...and see what we can get going....

Hey Yosh,

I am a third year at PCOM and I was wondering if you could give me some insight on how to obain a urology residency. I have taken and passed the comlex and also the usmle. I don't know what a competitive score is on the comlex for urology though. Also, are any of the programs tracked so that the first year includes the internship year. Any info would be wonderful. Thanks.

Hmm...one day I tell you....one day

Hey, you can go to urologymatch.com and you can find on that website what the competitive scores for everything is in terms of matching in urology... Im just a junior in highschool interested in urology as well and was just researching urology and ran across all that... hope that helps...

Bump.

Yes I'd be interested to know more about DO urology programs as well. It seems like there is very little information online. So I understand that DO programs are not linked, and you'd have to do transitional year first. Isn't that a big risk to take then? Like if I had a good chance to match into Gen. Surg, but decided to go into transitional just for the chance to match in Urology, not knowing if it'd happen or not. And if I don't match Urology, what are the chances coming from transitional year going into something that could have been mine before transitional but are probably taken?

Yosh, I'd appreciate it and I bet many other DO students would too, if you could just share with us how one could match into a DO Urology program. The more detailed the more better like...recommended rotations, scores...etc
