Urology Residency

The U-M Medical School Department of Urology Residency Program is consistently recognized among the very best in the nation—ranked the #1 program in Michigan and the #3 program nationwide. We attract the most driven and talented trainees, offering an unparalleled environment to learn, lead, and innovate in one of the most dynamic academic medical centers in the country.

Our program is distinguished by world-class faculty, advanced clinical and surgical training, and groundbreaking research opportunities. Residents gain unmatched experience across the full spectrum of urology while contributing to national quality collaboratives and transformative scientific discovery.

Adding to this strength, Dr. Kate H. Kraft serves as Chair and Dr. Stephanie J. Kielb as Vice Chair of the ACGME Review Committee for Urology, the national body that defines residency training standards and accredits programs across the United States. Their leadership ensures that Michigan Urology is not only at the forefront of clinical and research innovation but also plays a central role in shaping the future of urology education nationwide.

Our mission is to train the next generation of urologic leaders—exceptional clinicians and visionary innovators who graduate uniquely prepared to excel in academic medicine, private practice, health policy, and beyond. At Michigan, residents are not passive learners—they are partners in progress, working alongside faculty to shape their own education and strengthen the program’s legacy of excellence.
