Prerequisites for Admission

One trainee per year will be accepted into the 2-year fellowship training program. Prerequisites for admission are as follows:

• Must be a U.S. or non-U.S. citizen qualified to obtain a full medical license in the State of Colorado
• Complete all 3 steps of USMLE

• Be board-eligible in Urology

• Two additional letters of recommendation are required

There may be an opportunity of a 1-year research fellowship or 1-3 month observerships, especially for international fellows. This will usually require extramural funding. To date, we have had international scholars visit from Canada, Brazil, Mexico, China, Korea, Italy, Russia, and Jordan.
