UroVersity

UroVersity is a pipeline initiative open to first year medical students at Michigan Medicine. This longitudinal mentorship program pairs medical students with both resident and faculty mentors to increase exposure and research endeavors in the field of urology. Students interested in urology or surgery can contact Sarosh Irani, [email protected] or Laura Zebib, [email protected].

Applications to join UroVersity are typically sent to all first year medical students at the University of Michigan via email in December, with a submission deadline in January.

If you are interested in joining the UroVersity board, applications are generally released in February via email to UMMS students.
