Physicians meet with a patient

The J. Bentley Squier Urologic Clinic at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons was founded in 1928 and is one of the oldest and most accomplished Urology programs in the nation. The goal of our Department is to provide unsurpassed excellence in patient care, research, and residency and fellowship training.

We offer a full six-year residency program, a one-year clinical fellowship in voiding dysfunction and pelvic medicine, a one-year clinical fellowship in endourology and stone disease, a one-year clinical fellowship in reconstructive urology. We also offer electives for fourth-year medical students to expose to all components of adult and pediatric urology before entering into a formal residency program.

Together with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, it is among the top rated in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. As a leader in the field of urology, we welcome you to the educational section of our web site and invite you to learn more about our programs.
