Facilities

The Department of Urology is actively involved in all phases of care for adult and pediatric urology and currently performs around 3,000 operative procedures each year, with over 25,000 outpatient appointments in Urology at MUSC Health. The urology residency program is structured to provide the resident with a strong background in all aspects pertinent to urological surgery. Our program incorporates the University Hospital, Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital, an outpatient pediatric surgery center, three outpatient clinics, and the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina. We have a multidisciplinary urologic cancer program, which is housed in the Hollings Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center.

Three positions are made available per year.

The University Hospital will be covered by five residents daily (except for vacations and meetings). The junior residents will direct adult patient care under the supervision of the chief resident and the attendings. The senior resident will direct the inpatient consult service. The surgical intern will be assigned to MUSC inpatient service and the senior and junior medical students will be assigned to University Hospital OR’s, outpatient clinics, Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital, or the Veterans Administration Hospital (VA). At the VA, ward rounds occur daily with the four assigned residents.

At the Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital, the senior urology resident will be in charge of pediatric patient care under the supervision of the attending pediatric urologist. The pediatric urology resident covers the Children’s Hospital urology patients, consults, and assists in clinic with the attending. The resident is typically in the OR on this service three days a week and in clinic two days a week.
