Urology is the study of surgical and medical therapies for disorders of the male and female urinary tract as well as the male genital system.
Urology has a proud heritage as an innovative and technologically advanced specialty. Two Nobel laureates belonged to our fraternity and novel scientific advancement such as shock-wave lithotripsy and robotic surgery were introduced into practice by Urology.
The strength of the Division lays in our commitment to improve health by focusing on education, research, and challenging boundaries towards the development of innovative approaches to care. When you give to the Division, you are helping current and future generations of urology residents, fellows, researchers and faculty improve patient care, and develop new techniques and therapies that will improve health care in Canada and around the world.
We are committed to supporting our faculty’s research endeavors and providing them with the resources they need to be successful. From state-of-the-art laboratories to funding opportunities and mentorship programs, we strive to create an environment where our faculty can thrive and make important contributions to their respective fields. As a result, we are proud to say that our faculty members publish hundreds of articles each year in some of the most respected scientific journals in the world. This is a testament to the quality and rigor of our research, and we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of medical science in the years to come.
