Message From the Director

The objective of the Urology program at Olympia Fields Hospital is to train urologists of the highest quality with the knowledge, clinical acumen and surgical skills to care for the entire spectrum of urological disorders. We aim to balance a rigorous academic training program with a strong didactic curriculum, diverse surgical caseload, and invaluable research experience. Particular emphasis is placed on teaching our residents the importance of establishing strong physician-patient relationships by the priority we place on continuity of care. We expect that the residents trained in our program will become leaders in the urology community and that they will practice urology with personal integrity, high ethical standards, and respect for the rights of patients entrusted to their care while adhering to osteopathic principles and practices.

Graduates of Olympia Fields Hospital have gone on to practice in a variety of setting and locations across the United States. Over half of previous graduates have gone straight into practice while confidently performing subspecialty procedures, speaking to the comprehensive training received during their 5-year residency. Fellowships obtained by prior residents include urologic oncology, reconstructive urology, female urology & pelvic floor reconstruction, endourology, laparoscopy & robotics.
