Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Urology Residency

Background:

  • Understanding resident and medical student preferences is crucial for urology program recruitment.
  • Identifying key factors influencing trainee decisions aids program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the most valued characteristics of urology residency programs by medical students and residents.
  • To analyze how these preferences evolve during urology training.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to urology residents and interested medical students.
  • Respondents ranked the importance of six categories of residency program characteristics.
  • Demographic data and future career plans were collected.

Main Results:

  • Resident experience, geography, and clinical experience were top-ranked characteristics.
  • Medical students prioritized clinic experience and mentorship; residents valued faculty interaction and APP support.
  • Academic-track trainees emphasized research and diversity more than private practice-track trainees.

Conclusions:

  • Urology trainees largely agree on program characteristic importance, with some shifts during training.
  • Trainees value informal faculty relationships and surgical training support (e.g., APPs) as they progress.
  • Findings can inform urology programs on effective recruitment messaging and website content.
