Research Rotation Requirements

Throughout training, urologic residents participate actively in clinical research and spend dedicated time in our basic science labs during their research year.

Structure: During the second year of urologic training, residents perform dedicated basic science research for a 6-month period.

Near the conclusion of the first year of training a project is identified and residents at this level are assigned to a research mentor, Dr. Ratz, specializing in detrusor smooth muscle physiology, Dr. Bowlin, specializing in urologic tissue engineering, or Dr. Klausner specializing in neuro-urology.

Requirements: Residents are required to submit two abstracts per year and to complete one or more manuscripts for publication during residency training.


Funding is provided to support presentation of resident-authored works and submission to the following meetings is encouraged:

American Urological Association annual meeting

Mid-Atlantic Section of the AUA annual meeting


Resident Awards and Honors
