Away rotations are recommended for students applying to Urology Residency programs. The selection of programs for these rotations will depend on your competitiveness and degree of interest in each program. Away rotations are arranged through the Visiting Student Application Services (VSAS).

For IU students, we recommend completing 2 away rotations in your 4th year between June and October. Please discuss with faculty at IU when selecting specific programs.
