The Urology Residency is a 12-month full-time program where students will earn a residency certificate after completion.
The mission is to provide a broad-based educational experience whereby a certified physician assistant is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions. The physician assistant resident program emphasizes:
- Patient care
- Medical knowledge
- Interpersonal and communication skills
- Professionalism
Objectives include exposure to patients in outpatient, inpatient, and surgical settings, with peri-operative involvement, to promote and enable the resident to gain the confidence and experience necessary to practice in a urology setting of their choice.
Physician Assistant Residents will rotate through a variety of settings:
- Outpatient clinics
- Outpatient surgery and procedures
- Operating room
- Inpatient service.
Rotation sites are the Emory University Hospital, the Emory Clinic, and Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and include both clinical and didactic components.
