Urology Residency Training Program

Welcome to the homepage for the Residency Training Program within the Division of Urology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine! Our Residency Training Program is a fully-accredited ACGME five-year program with a resident complement of three (3) residents per year. It is directed by Dr. Granville Lloyd and associate directed by Dr. Dan Wood. Drs. Lloyd and Wood have a combined experience of over 40 years in Urology practice and education.

Our program focuses on three main categories: Challenge, Community, and Continuation. Click the blocks below to explore each focus, or scroll down to read more about our mission, goals, and focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Mission and Goals

Our mission is to provide the best possible resident training in urology; to maximize both wellness and a deep exposure to the clinical, scientific and technical aspects of urology; and to ensure access to the career of one’s choice.

To achieve this, the goals for urology resident training are experience in:

Surgery. We strive to provide excellent volume and variety of surgical experience in general urology and the various urologic subspecialties. These subspecialties include urologic oncology, female urology, neurourology, pediatric urology, infertility and impotence, endourology and stone disease, and genitourinary trauma. Both robotic and open approaches are emphasized. 

Outpatient Care. Our program provides substantial ambulatory (outpatient clinical) experience in general urology and various urologic subspecialties. We also expose trainees to a diversity of practice settings to inform career choices.

Industry Events. CU Urology participates in a wide variety of educational and research conferences* at which residents are not only present, but are active participants. Residents also attend simulation sessions that further enhance the training experience and prepare graduates for any form of future practice, from rural to academic, small-scale to multi-hospital, surgical and clinical.

*These conferences cover the basic sciences as they relate to urologic physiology and pathology, urologic imaging, morbidity and mortality, urological pathology, journal reviews, and other subjects which have educational value in the basic and clinical domains of urology. Dedicated time is preserved for simulation sessions and practical learning in the domains of robotic and reconstructive surgery.

2024 Interview Dates

The University of Colorado Division of Urology is proud to offer Virtual-Only Interviews this year. We recognize that travel, especially given the relatively short notice that we all received, creates expense and inconvenience that not all applicants are easily able to absorb. At CU DOU, we strive to offer a fair, consistent, and equitable opportunity that does not incur unnecessary time or financial burden. We believe that our Residents and our Program speak for themselves, but as proud of our Division as we are, we do not feel it is right to force you to visit us – at least without more time to plan. Please browse through our site, and we hope to meet you online this Fall!

This year's Residency interviews will be completed virtually via Zoom on the following dates:

  • Thursday, November 14, 2024 - Virtual
  • Monday, November 25, 2024 - Virtual 

We look forward to getting to know you!
