We're excited to share that the UPMC Urology Residency Program has been approved to expand our resident complement to five residents per year!
This change will take effect with the upcoming match cycle, with plans to introduce a 5-year pathway option. This is a meaningful step and for the next generation of urologists we're proud to train.

Proud to announce the creation of the Elizabeth R. Sagan, MD, Endowed Chair of Female Urology at @pitt_medicine.
Dr. Sagan, a 1979 alum and the region’s first female urologist, broke barriers and paved the way for women in the field.
At our annual reception during @AmerUrological children joined me to announce this milestone.
We’ve raised $2.1M—including a $1M match from @UPMC aim to recruit a mid-career leader committed to advancing women in urology.
Help us continue building this important fund! #Urology #WomenInMedicine #AUA2025 @sufuorg @SWIUorg
